Wall tie replacement for Wellingborough properties
We cover Wellingborough and the NN8 postcode district, including nearby Rushden, Kettering and Northampton. It is about 9 miles north-east of Northampton.
We never cold-call in Wellingborough or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Wellingborough properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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 Wellingborough, 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.
