Wall tie replacement for Doncaster properties
We cover Doncaster and the DN1 postcode district, including nearby Rotherham, Chapeltown and Barnsley. It is around 17 miles north-east of Sheffield.
Damp in an insulated Doncaster home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Doncaster properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. South Yorkshire 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Doncaster, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

Ties and cavity insulation
Ties should be checked before a cavity is filled. Fitting remedial ties does not normally stop a cavity being insulated later, and we can do both in one visit. Where cracking suggests movement, we recommend a structural engineer's view first.
