The Importance of Cavity Wall Tie Inspections

When it comes to keeping your home strong and secure, cavity wall ties play a vital role. Many homeowners in Bolton are unaware of the importance of regular cavity wall tie inspections, but failing to maintain them can lead to serious structural issues and costly repairs.

At Bolton Damp Proofing, we provide expert cavity wall surveys and wall tie replacements to ensure your property stays safe, stable, and free from damp problems.

What Are Cavity Wall Ties?

Most modern homes are built with cavity walls – two layers of brickwork with a gap in between. Cavity wall ties are metal components that connect the inner and outer walls, keeping them stable and aligned. They also help prevent moisture from crossing into your home.

Why Are Cavity Wall Tie Inspections Important?

Over time, cavity wall ties can corrode, weaken, or fail completely. This can lead to:

• Cracks in external walls

• Bulging or bowing brickwork

• Damp patches on internal walls

• Reduced structural stability

Regular cavity wall surveys in Bolton allow us to spot problems early and provide timely solutions before they become major issues.

Signs You May Need Wall Tie Replacement

You should book an inspection if you notice:

• Horizontal or stepped cracks in brickwork

• Loose or crumbling mortar

• Rust staining on external walls

• Damp issues inside your home

If left untreated, damaged ties can lead to costly structural repairs – making early detection essential.
