Wall tie replacement for Cheadle Hulme properties
If your property is in Cheadle Hulme or the SK8 district or nearby Stockport, Hazel Grove and Denton, it is within our Greater Manchester coverage. It is around 7 miles south of Manchester.
Damp in an insulated Cheadle Hulme home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. If your Cheadle Hulme installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Greater Manchester 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Cheadle Hulme, 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.
