Wall tie replacement for Tonypandy properties
Tonypandy sits in Mid Glamorgan, around 9 miles north-east of Bridgend. We work across the CF40 district, including nearby Rhondda, Pontypridd and Aberdare.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Tonypandy properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Tonypandy 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.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of Mid Glamorgan 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Tonypandy, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

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.
