Wall tie replacement for Hamilton properties
If your property is in Hamilton or the ML3 district or nearby Motherwell, Wishaw and East Kilbride, it is within our Lanarkshire coverage. Hamilton is one of the main towns we cover in Lanarkshire.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Hamilton properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Damp in an insulated Hamilton home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Hamilton, 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.

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.
