Wall tie replacement for Tynemouth properties
Our Tyne and Wear coverage takes in Tynemouth (NE30) and nearby North Shields, South Shields and Whitley Bay. It is about 8 miles north-east of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Where a Tynemouth wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up. We never cold-call in Tynemouth or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Tyne and Wear 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Tynemouth, 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.

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.
