Wall tie replacement for Skegness properties
Skegness is among the towns we cover in Lincolnshire, alongside Boston, Spalding and Cleethorpes. It is roughly 37 miles east of Lincoln.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Skegness properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Skegness installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Skegness, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification 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.
