Wall Tie Replacement
North East Preservation carry out detailed surveys to establish whether wall tie corrosion is a problem. We use the latest methods to minimise damage to walls, whilst being thorough in checking the ties for corrosion. In most cases a metal detector is used to locate samples, prior to visual inspection via optic-fibre technology. In some cases it is necessary to fully expose ties by removing sections of mortar bed-joint or masonry.
Subject to the property location, a site visit and domestic house inspections are free without any obligation. Only if our inspection reveals a need for remedial work will we prepare a fixed price quotation and written report, also free of charge. Written reports confirming that wall tie corrosion is not a problem may incur a small administration fee.
Our reports are accepted by major banks, building societies and other mortgage lenders who may require them. Any recommendations made in our report are detailed and in a clear specification, and our expreienced Surveyors are always available to answer your questions. Endoscopic photography which reveals what our Surveyor found is also available, subject to a small fee - please ask.
For commercial and local authority clients we also offer surveys to establish tie density, cavity contamination levels and even existing tie orientation on new-build projects, assisting in settling disputes and proof testing existing systems. Please call for further information or to arrange your survey.
