Wall tie replacement for Melton Mowbray properties
Melton Mowbray is among the towns we cover in Leicestershire, alongside Loughborough, Leicester and Oadby. It is about 14 miles north-east of Leicester.
Damp in an insulated Melton Mowbray home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. If your Melton Mowbray installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Leicestershire 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Melton Mowbray, 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.
