Wall tie replacement for Tamworth properties
If your property is in Tamworth or the B77 district or nearby Lichfield, Burntwood and Burton upon Trent, it is within our Staffordshire coverage. It is around 33 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 Tamworth properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Tamworth 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Tamworth, 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.
What is included in Tamworth
