Wall tie replacement for Worthing properties
Worthing is among the towns we cover in West Sussex, alongside Littlehampton, Bognor Regis and Burgess Hill. It is about 22 miles south of Crawley.
Where a Worthing 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. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Worthing properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Worthing, 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.
