Wall tie replacement for Kidsgrove properties
We cover Kidsgrove and the ST7 postcode district, including nearby Newcastle under Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent and Longton. It is around 6 miles north of Stoke-on-Trent.
If your Kidsgrove installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Kidsgrove properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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 Kidsgrove, 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.
