Cavity Wall Tie Repair
Cavity walls have been used in UK buildings for many years – two leaves of brick are held together using metal straps (the wall ties). The space between the two leaves of masonry create a barrier to water penetration and can act as an insulation layer. BCP Damp Proofing specialise in the repair of cavity wall ties.
Have My Wall Ties Failed?
There are many ways you can tell if wall ties have failed in a building – this includes:
- Crack and separations of window reveals
- Sagging of lintels
- Horizontal cracks
- Bulging brickwork
How do I Repair Wall Ties?
Here at BCP Damp Proofing we specialise in the repair of wall ties and we would recommend that a specialist takes a look at the supposed failure of the wall ties in order to diagnose the issue. Sever failure can results in the collapse of stonework. Any signs of cracking or if you are aware of structural movement should be addressed by a specialist as soon as possible.
