WALL TIE SURVEY

At Hampshire Repointing and Restoration, we undertake extensive surveys to determine the condition of your wall ties, as well as the best approach to carrying out our repair service. Our wall tie inspections are designed to establish a wide variety of factors, including:

• Which type of tie has been used, for example, a wire butterfly, double triangle, vertical twist, etc.
• The condition of the ties in relation to modern standards, especially where density and embedment are concerned.
• The condition of the steel regarding the presence or absence of corrosion.

WHEN DO WALL TIES NEED REPLACING?

Following our inspections, we will provide you with a comprehensive report, containing unbiased recommendations of the necessary action according to the Building Research Establishment guidelines as laid out in Digest 401.

These guidelines take various factors into account and classifies wall ties according to their condition. Based on these classifications, our team will work to determine the appropriate action according to the BRE recommendations. These actions can range from immediate replacement to further inspection within five to ten years.

WALL TIES WE USE

We will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the condition of your walls, as well as which type of wall tie is best suited to your building. The wall ties we use in our replacement services include resin fix wall ties and helical wall ties.

RESIN FIX WALL TIES

Resin fix wall ties are ideal for residential properties with older, lower quality brickwork. This remedial wall tie system uses resin that acts as an adhesive to reliably connect and secure both leaves of a cavity wall together. Resin fix wall ties are quick to install, requiring no brick and block splitting, and are highly flexible to accommodate the natural movement of your building.

HELICAL WALL TIES

Helical wall ties are stainless steel helical ties used to stabilise and anchor the walls and facades of a building. Their unique design allows them to be easily inserted into a pre-drilled hole or embedded into mortar and provides a mechanical connection between the inner and outer walls. Helical wall ties are also extremely durable and work well in concrete and masonry, as well as wood and steel studs.
