Wall tie replacement for Cumbernauld properties
Our Lanarkshire coverage takes in Cumbernauld (G67) and nearby Airdrie, Coatbridge and Motherwell. It is around 12 miles north of Hamilton.
Damp in an insulated Cumbernauld 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 Cumbernauld properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Lanarkshire face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Cumbernauld, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.

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.
