Wall tie replacement for Northampton properties
Our Northamptonshire coverage takes in Northampton (NN1) and nearby Wellingborough, Daventry and Rushden. Northampton is one of the main towns we cover in Northamptonshire.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Northampton properties, so you can choose who fixes them. We never cold-call in Northampton or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Northamptonshire 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Northampton, 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.
