Wall tie replacement for Longton properties
If your property is in Longton or the ST3 district or nearby Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle under Lyme and Kidsgrove, it is within our Staffordshire coverage. It is about 2 miles south-east of Stoke-on-Trent.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Longton properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Longton installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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 compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Longton, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.

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 Longton
