If this damage has been caused, the ‘tell-tale signs’ of cavity wall tie failure include:
Horizontal cracking – at regular intervals in external mortar joints
Outward bulging of the wall – joints widen causing the wall to deflect outwards
The lifting of roof edges – at gables the growth of brickwork can cause a noticeable ‘pagoda’ effect
Vertical cracks found at internal wall junctions & horizontal cracks appear at internal wall & ceiling joints

Frequently Asked Questions
Our team is just a click away if you need any advice about wall ties, but here are some answers to the questions our customers ask most.
Almost all cavity walls have wall ties in them. This is because the external skin of a cavity wall is very thin in relation to its height (the slenderness ratio). This means that under wind loads it could bulge or just fall over! The wall ties bridge the cavity, transferring the strength of the inner load bearing leaf, to the thin outer leaf.
If left, corroded wall ties can expand to eight times their original size. This expansion means the metal can push the brickwork apart causing serious cracks in the walls of your property. Our team of experienced professionals will isolate corroded ties to prevent further damage to your home, offering you valuable peace of mind.
The best way to see if you have a problem is to have an experienced professional come to inspect your property. Some of the signs of cavity wall ties that might need replacing are horizontal cracks, which are caused by the expansion of corroded wall ties. In addition, bulging brickwork could mean some wall ties have snapped, due to corrosion. This can make your property unstable and needs to be attended to quickly. Our professional team will provide you with photographic images so you can see the damage for yourself.
In some cases, only some of the wall ties need replacing. The only way to be sure is to have an inspection done, but if you have an older property there could be an increased risk of corrosion or failed wall ties. We can come an have a look and put your mind at ease.
