Wall tie replacement for Cannock properties
If your property is in Cannock or the WS11 district or nearby Burntwood, Rugeley and Lichfield, it is within our Staffordshire coverage. It is about 22 miles south of Stoke-on-Trent.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Cannock properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Damp in an insulated Cannock home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Cannock, 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.
What is included in Cannock
