Wall tie replacement for Burgess Hill properties
If your property is in Burgess Hill or the RH15 district or nearby Haywards Heath, Crawley and Horsham, it is within our West Sussex coverage. It is roughly 11 miles south of Crawley.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Burgess Hill properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Burgess Hill 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.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. West Sussex 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 Burgess Hill, 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.
