Wall tie replacement for Rutherglen properties
Rutherglen sits in Lanarkshire, around 8 miles north-west of Hamilton. We work across the G73 district, including nearby Cambuslang, East Kilbride and Coatbridge.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Rutherglen properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Damp in an insulated Rutherglen home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Rutherglen, 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.
What is included in Rutherglen
