Wall tie replacement for Briton Ferry properties
We cover Briton Ferry and the SA12 postcode district, including nearby Neath, Swansea and Gorseinon. It is around 6 miles east of Swansea.
We never cold-call in Briton Ferry or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Briton Ferry properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of West Glamorgan face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Briton Ferry, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

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.
