Wall tie replacement for Burntwood properties
If your property is in Burntwood or the WS7 district or nearby Lichfield, Cannock and Rugeley, it is within our Staffordshire coverage. It is about 25 miles south-east of Stoke-on-Trent.
If your Burntwood installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Where a Burntwood 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.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Staffordshire 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 Burntwood, 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.
