Wall tie replacement for Croydon properties
Our Greater London coverage takes in Croydon (CR7) and nearby South Croydon, Wallington and Carshalton. It is around 9 miles south of London.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Croydon properties, so you can choose who fixes them. We never cold-call in Croydon or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Croydon, 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.
