Wall tie replacement for Wallsend properties
We cover Wallsend and the NE28 postcode district, including nearby Hebburn, Jarrow and Gateshead. It is around 3 miles east of Newcastle upon Tyne.
If your Wallsend installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Where a Wallsend 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.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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 Wallsend, 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.
