Wall tie replacement for New Milton properties
We cover New Milton and the BH25 postcode district, including nearby Hythe, Totton and Southampton. It is around 16 miles south-west of Southampton.
Damp in an insulated New Milton home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for New Milton properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Hampshire 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in New Milton, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
