Cavity Wall Tie Replacement
Failure of cavity wall ties is a widespread problem throughout the UK, particularly in older properties, it can lead to horizontal & stepped cracking to brickwork, bulging of brickwork and if left unattended can eventually cause the external skin of brickwork to collapse.
How Wall Tie Failure Happens:
Over time moisture (rain etc) penetrates in from the outside and attacks the wall ties, causing a build-up of iron oxide (more commonly known as Rust).
As each wall tie oxidises, rust is formed, expands, pushes apart the mortar beds and causes cracks.
Signs to look for:
- Vertical or Horizontal cracks in Brickwork
- Bulges in Brickwork
- Cracks appearing around Windows and Doorways
Barrier Property Care will survey your property using a metal detector to locate the ties and a portable camera device to examine their condition. Where replacements are necessary, Barrier Property Care can choose from a range of stainless steel wall ties that can be fixed either mechanically or with specially formulated resins depending on the type and condition of the brickwork or masonry involved.
