WHAT ARE CAVITY WALL TIES?
At CavClear, we specialise in expertly inspecting, repairing, and replacing cavity wall ties, offering a complete solution to safeguard your property’s structural integrity. Our experienced team delivers prompt, professional service, preventing serious issues like wall cracking, bowing, or long-term structural failure caused by corroded or failing wall ties.
Noticed cracks or bulging walls?
Failing cavity wall ties can lead to dangerous structural movement if ignored. Left untreated, this can compromise your home’s safety and value. Trust CavClear for a reliable and effective wall tie solution, restoring stability and ensuring long-term protection for your property.
WALL TIE SURVEYS AND REPLACEMENT
Cavity wall ties are a critical part of your property’s structure, securing the inner and outer leaves of brickwork so they act as a single, stable wall. Over time, these ties can corrode, fail, or become insufficient due to age, poor installation, or environmental conditions. If left unaddressed, wall tie failure can lead to structural instability and visible damage to brickwork.
CavClear provides specialist wall tie surveys to accurately assess the condition of your property’s ties and recommend effective, long-term solutions.
Why a Wall Tie Survey is Essential
Wall tie corrosion or failure often develops out of sight within the cavity. Early detection is key to preventing costly repairs and maintaining structural integrity. Common signs that a survey may be required include:
-
Horizontal or stepped cracking in brickwork
-
Bulging or bowing walls
-
Movement around door or window openings
-
Properties built before the use of modern stainless-steel ties
Even if there are no visible signs, a survey is recommended for properties over 25 years old or before purchasing a property, especially in exposed or coastal locations.
If deterioration is identified, timely replacement with modern stainless-steel wall ties can prevent further structural damage and extend the lifespan of your property.

OUR SURVEY PROCESS
CavClear follows industry-approved procedures to ensure accuracy and reliability:
-
External Inspection
The property is assessed for visible signs of movement or cracking. -
Wall Tie Location
A metal detector is used to identify tie positions within the cavity wall. -
Borescope Examination
Small inspection holes are drilled to allow a borescope camera to assess tie condition, corrosion level, and installation type. -
Alternative Inspection Methods
For insulated cavities or hard-to-reach areas, additional techniques are employed to ensure comprehensive results. -
Detailed Reporting
A written report is provided, including photographs, tie condition grading, along with the option to continue with repair or replacement.
CAVCLEAR WALL TIE REPLACEMENT
All surveys are carried out by trained specialists using calibrated equipment. CavClear’s approach is guided by current industry standards, ensuring each recommendation is evidence-based and tailored to the property’s requirements.
Where replacement is necessary, we install only high-quality stainless-steel wall ties, engineered for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. The replacement process involves:
Isolating or removing defective ties
Existing corroded or failed ties are either removed or isolated to prevent further damage.
Installing new stainless-steel ties
New ties are positioned and fixed at precise intervals to restore structural stability.
Ensuring minimal disruption
Work is carried out from the exterior wherever possible, reducing disruption to occupants.
Finishing for a seamless appearance
Mortar joints are carefully reinstated to blend with existing brickwork.
CavClear’s replacement work is designed to be a permanent solution, providing long-term protection against further corrosion and ensuring your cavity walls remain structurally sound for decades.
