Wall tie replacement for Chichester properties
Chichester sits in West Sussex, about 32 miles south-west of Crawley. We work across the PO19 district, including nearby Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Worthing.
We never cold-call in Chichester 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 Chichester properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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 Chichester, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
