Wall-Tie Investigation — From £325

A focused investigation of suspected wall-tie deterioration or failure in cavity-wall construction.

Price

From £325. The final fee depends on the property, construction, access, location, investigation method and agreed scope. All fees are confirmed before instruction.

Indicators considered

The survey considers visible indicators such as horizontal cracking, regular cracking through bed joints, masonry movement, bulging, distortion, the age and form of construction, cavity-wall details and evidence of previous repairs.

What the report explains

  • The location and pattern of relevant defects

  • Clear photographic evidence

  • Whether the visible evidence is consistent with wall-tie deterioration

  • The significance of the findings

  • Appropriate next steps and remedial work

Further investigation or remedial wall-tie work is recommended where appropriate. The physical condition of concealed ties is not claimed to have been verified unless suitable investigation has been undertaken as part of the agreed scope.
