Wall tie replacement for Kingswinford properties
If your property is in Kingswinford or the DY6 district or nearby Stourbridge, Dudley and Tipton, it is within our West Midlands coverage. It is roughly 11 miles west of Birmingham.
Where a Kingswinford 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. Damp in an insulated Kingswinford home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Kingswinford, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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 Kingswinford
