Wall tie replacement for Maidstone properties
If your property is in Maidstone or the ME16 district or nearby Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham, it is within our Kent coverage. Maidstone is one of the main towns we cover in Kent.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Maidstone properties, so you can choose who fixes them. We never cold-call in Maidstone or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Kent 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 Maidstone, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
What is included in Maidstone
