Wall tie replacement for Hailsham properties
Hailsham is among the towns we cover in East Sussex, alongside Eastbourne, Seaford and Bexhill-on-Sea. It is about 17 miles east of Brighton.
If your Hailsham installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Hailsham properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. East Sussex has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Hailsham, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

Signs of wall tie failure
Horizontal cracks in mortar joints at regular vertical intervals, bulging brickwork, or lifting of the roof verge. Older galvanised ties, especially in walls built before the 1980s, are the usual suspects.
