Wall tie replacement for Clevedon properties
If your property is in Clevedon or the BS21 district or nearby Nailsea, Portishead and Weston-super-Mare, it is within our Somerset coverage. It is about 31 miles north of Taunton.
Damp in an insulated Clevedon home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Where a Clevedon 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. 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 Clevedon, 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.
