Wall tie replacement for Trowbridge properties
Trowbridge sits in Wiltshire, around 25 miles south-west of Swindon. We work across the BA14 district, including nearby Chippenham, Swindon and Salisbury.
Where a Trowbridge 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. If your Trowbridge installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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 Trowbridge, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.

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.
