Wall tie replacement for Chiswick properties
Chiswick sits in Greater London, about 6 miles west of London. We work across the W4 district, including nearby Acton, Barnes and Shepherds Bush.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Chiswick properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Damp in an insulated Chiswick home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Chiswick, 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.
