Wall tie replacement for Peterhead properties
If your property is in Peterhead or the AB42 district or nearby Inverurie and Aberdeen, it is within our Aberdeen and Grampian coverage. It is roughly 26 miles north of Aberdeen.
We never cold-call in Peterhead or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Peterhead home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Aberdeen and Grampian 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 Peterhead, 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.

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.
