What Are Wall Ties and Why Are They Important?
Wall ties, often referred to as ‘brick ties’, are integral components that builders use in structures featuring cavity walls. These unassuming elements play a crucial role in joining the two layers of a cavity wall, effectively merging them into a single, cohesive unit. Despite remaining concealed from plain sight once construction is complete, wall ties are essential for ensuring the structural stability of a building.
They contribute to the structural integrity of a property by preventing the outer and inner walls from separating. This helps maintain the overall strength and stability of the building, ensuring it can withstand external forces and the test of time.
About Our Wall Tie Replacement Service
Our wall tie replacement service is a comprehensive process that ensures the structural integrity of your property. We employ advanced metal detection equipment to precisely locate existing wall ties. With the assistance of a fibre optic endoscope, we thoroughly inspect the ties between the walls. Alternatively, we might carefully scrape out mortar joints to assess the condition of the wall ties accurately.
Based on our comprehensive inspection and site-specific conditions, we select the most suitable replacement ties from our range, which includes mechanical, resin, and combination ties. These ties are crafted with precision from top-quality corrosion-free stainless steel materials.
Our skilled team at Insite Southern handles the installation of new ties, tightening them to the correct torque or setting them in specially chosen resins. If cast iron ties were originally used, we take the necessary steps to remove or isolate them, preventing further damage due to corrosion. We then restore the disturbed brickwork using a mortar mix that closely matches the existing, ensuring a seamless finish.
