Wall tie replacement for Harrogate properties
Harrogate sits in North Yorkshire, about 19 miles west of York. We work across the HG2 district, including nearby York and Selby.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Harrogate properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Harrogate 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. North Yorkshire has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Harrogate, 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.
