Wall tie replacement for Halesowen properties
If your property is in Halesowen or the B63 district or nearby Dudley, Stourbridge and Smethwick, it is within our West Midlands coverage. It is roughly 7 miles west of Birmingham.
If your Halesowen installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. We never cold-call in Halesowen or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. The West Midlands 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 Halesowen, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
