Wall tie replacement for Lincoln properties
Our Lincolnshire coverage takes in Lincoln (LN6) and nearby Gainsborough, Grantham and Scunthorpe. Lincoln is one of the main towns we cover in Lincolnshire.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Lincoln properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Lincoln wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Lincolnshire 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 Lincoln, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
