Wall tie replacement for Stirling properties
If your property is in Stirling or the FK7 district or nearby Alloa, Falkirk and Grangemouth, it is within our Forth Valley coverage. It is around 10 miles north-west of Falkirk.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Stirling properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Stirling installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. The Forth Valley 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 Stirling, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.

Ties and cavity insulation
Ties should be checked before a cavity is filled. Fitting remedial ties does not normally stop a cavity being insulated later, and we can do both in one visit. Where cracking suggests movement, we recommend a structural engineer's view first.
What is included in Stirling
