Wall Ties

Cavity walls have been constructed since the beginning of the 20th century and were implemented to structurely tie the internal skin to external brickwork of the property.

The system comprises two separate walls, the internal and external walls which are ‘tied’ at strategic intervals using a form of wall tie commonly made of a stainless steel metal to prevent any further corrosion.

If your property is suffering from wall tie failure then this can mean that both skins (or leaves) become independent of each other. This means that the property can become structurally unsafe and a danger to those that may be in it or around it. Thi is offten apparent on building where horizontal cracking. This is caused by the old wall ties lamminating and increasing in size causing the brickwork to lift and crack. In the process replacing wall ties we would find the exsisting wall ties, isolate them from the exisint brick work to prevent any further cracking.

Woodworm Treatment

In order to provide with an accurate quotation, our woodworm specialist surveyors will need to carry out a full inspection to determine the best treatment for the property.

Cost of the treatment can depend on the damage caused and the size of the area. If you are having problems with woodworm we always recommend that you should contact a specialist. Woodworm can cause significant damage if leftto prevent anuntreated for a long period of time. In most cases we spray a PETHODRINE based insectacide to erradicate any beetles present which would also lay residual for a period of upto 30 years to prevent any further attack.

Basement Water Proofing

Basement Waterproofing is a general term used to describe methods of waterproofing to protect your basement from when water builds up below ground, raising the water table and potentially leading to hydrostatic water pressure.

Structural weaknesses can occur if water penetrates through cracks and joints and breaks out onto the basement floor.

we have the ability to install effective waterproofing systems to rectify any issues in your property. Depending on the individual needs of the customer, we will offer a number of ways to damp proof your basement.

Make sure you ask for your specialist’s recommendation as per your needs as we are more than happy to talk through these options in detail. The first step is to request a survey from our team of specialists who can see the wet basement first-hand and start the process of turning it into a dry living space.

Walls & Insulation

Your home’s brickwork is a very visible part of your property, but you may still fail to notice when it should be repointed or replaced. This could be due to the brickwork showing signs of deterioration that you hadn’t realised hint at fundamental, rather than surface level problems.

Brickwork isn’t always as solid and durable as it looks. It can fail if it has not been treated appropriately

After a time the mortar joint between brickwork can become damaged by weather, be it snow/ice penetrating the joint or rain containing toxins that corrode the mortar, even wind blown grit and dust can be detrimental to exposed brickwork.

Every job is different but our ethics of quality stay the same, beginning with a clean and tidy safe site, we ensure that each mortar joint is extracted to a maximum depth that is in line with current building regulations. We use dust extracting hoovers and use a 4-1 sand and cement gage with a water proofer added to the mix.
