Why Wall Tie Replacement is essential in Bournemouth

Wall ties play a critical role in the structural integrity of any building with cavity walls. They connect the inner and outer skins of the wall, helping to prevent movement, bowing, or separation over time. In coastal areas like Bournemouth, wall ties are particularly vulnerable to corrosion due to high levels of moisture and salt in the air. As these ties deteriorate, they can weaken or snap entirely within the cavity, often leading to visible issues such as horizontal or stepped cracking — and in severe cases, the outer wall leaf may become unstable or even collapse.

Our Wall Tie Replacement process

At 1st Master Wall Ties We take great pride in completing every job to the highest of standards, heres how we do it :

Wall Tie Survey and Detection : We begin by using a high-precision metal detector to locate existing wall ties within your cavity walls. Once identified, we carefully mark and expose the tie ends to assess their condition in accordance with Table 2 of BRE Digest 401. This allows us to determine the extent of any corrosion or failure.

Assessment and Report: Following our inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive report detailing the condition of your wall ties, supported by photographs where applicable. The report includes our professional assessment and a tailored replacement plan, along with a competitive, no-obligation quote for the recommended works.
