Cavity Wall Insulation Removal & Wall Tie Solutions
for Timber-Framed Homes
At CavClear, we specialise in cavity wall insulation removal and wall tie solutions for timber-framed properties; critical services that can impact mortgage approvals.

Our expert services help homeowners and buyers meet lender requirements, ensuring a smooth mortgage process.
Cavity Wall Insulation Removal for Timber-Framed Homes
Cavity wall insulation in timber-framed properties can trap moisture, leading to serious issues such as rot, damp, and structural instability. Many lenders refuse to provide mortgages for properties with insulation in these cavities due to the long-term risks.
Why is removal necessary?
-
Prevents moisture retention and timber decay
-
Eliminates damp-related issues affecting structural integrity
-
Meets lender requirements for mortgage approvals
Our specialist team safely and effectively removes cavity wall insulation, restoring the property to a lender-compliant condition and protecting its long-term stability.
Cavity Wall Ties for Timber-Framed Homes
Unlike traditional masonry homes, timber-framed properties rely on properly installed cavity wall ties to secure the outer brickwork. If these ties are missing, incorrectly fitted, or failing, mortgage lenders may require replacements before approving a loan.
Why are cavity wall ties important?
-
They ensure the structural stability of brickwork
-
Prevent the outer leaf from separating from the timber frame
-
Meet the standards required for mortgage lending approval
We offer professional wall tie installation and replacement, ensuring compliance with lender requirements and securing the structural integrity of your home.

Cavity Wall Insulation in Steel and Timber Framed Houses
During the 1980s, timber and steel frame construction gained popularity for domestic houses in the UK.
This approach boasted several advantages, including rapid construction times, generating enthusiasm within the industry. However, it soon became evident that these new framing methods came with its own set of challenges.
Many steel and timber-framed houses are insulated with cavity wall insulation, despite the unsuitability of this approach for such home frames.
Unfortunately, opting for cavity wall insulation in these properties opens the possibility of structural risks and dampness.
Why is there a risk?
Timber and steel frame structures need air circulation to prevent rot or corrosion. Homes often have suspended timber floors with air bricks for airflow, safeguarding against rot. Similarly, cavities in timber and steel-framed houses require airflow.
After insulation fills open wall cavities, air circulation significantly decreases, elevating the risk of condensation. Trapped condensation against a timber frame can lead to wood rot, resulting in substantial and challenging-to-repair structural damage to the property. Similarly, this condensation on a timber frame can result in corrosion.

Are you living in a Timber or Steel Framed home?
If your timber-framed property is insulated with cavity wall insulation, it is highly recommended to have it removed promptly. This is because failure to address this issue promptly could result in significant structural damage to your property through damp, rot, and corrosion.
Ignoring these issues can be detrimental due to the structure of the property being at risk.
Selling your Timber or Steel Framed Home?
When purchasing or selling a timber-framed property, specialised surveys may be necessary to assess any potential impact. Additionally, if you are securing a mortgage, your lender may have specific requirements that must be met.
We provide comprehensive cavity wall insulation surveys and reports, delivering a detailed assessment of any existing damage within your property’s cavities. Our expert team conducts thorough inspections to identify any issues, offering valuable insights and recommendations.
