Wall tie replacement for Shrewsbury properties
We cover Shrewsbury and the SY1 postcode district, including nearby Wellington and Telford. Shrewsbury is one of the main towns we cover in Shropshire.
Damp in an insulated Shrewsbury home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Where a Shrewsbury 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. Shropshire 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 Shrewsbury, 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.
