Wall tie replacement for Canary Wharf properties
Canary Wharf is among the towns we cover in Greater London, alongside Bow, Canning Town and Greenwich. It is around 4 miles east of London.
We never cold-call in Canary Wharf or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Canary Wharf home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Greater London sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Canary Wharf, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification 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.
