Wall tie replacement for Salisbury properties
Our Wiltshire coverage takes in Salisbury (SP1) and nearby Trowbridge, Chippenham and Swindon. It is roughly 34 miles south of Swindon.
Where a Salisbury 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 Salisbury home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Wiltshire 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Salisbury, 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.
