Wall tie replacement for Stoke-on-Trent properties
Stoke-on-Trent sits in Staffordshire. We work across the ST4 district, including nearby Newcastle under Lyme, Longton and Kidsgrove.
Damp in an insulated Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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 Stoke-on-Trent, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
