Wall tie replacement for Newtown properties
If your property is in Newtown or the SY16 district or nearby Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells, it is within our Powys coverage. Newtown is one of the main towns we cover in Powys.
If your Newtown installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. We never cold-call in Newtown or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Powys 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Newtown, 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.
