Wall tie replacement for Burnham-on-Sea properties
If your property is in Burnham-on-Sea or the TA8 district or nearby Weston-super-Mare, Bridgwater and Clevedon, it is within our Somerset coverage. It is about 16 miles north of Taunton.
If your Burnham-on-Sea installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. We never cold-call in Burnham-on-Sea or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Somerset 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Burnham-on-Sea, 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.
