In a lot of properties the failure of the wall ties has resulted in a major repair bill for property owners. On older properties the wall ties used were fabricated from either wrought iron or a mild steel and had no protection against corrosion. As a result problems such as bulging walls cracking of mortar courses, water ingression and leaking, and in severe cases collapse of exterior walls can occur.

(1.) Locate existing wall ties with a metal detector.
(2.) Drill 12mm holes and examine existing ties with a boroscope.
(3.) Holes are drilled through external and internal brickwork.
(4.) New stainless steel wall ties are installed into the drilled holes.
(5.) The new ties are permanently fixed in place with epoxy resin.

Until recently the solution to most of the above mentioned problems would be to take down the exterior wall skins and rebuild using galvanised or stainless steel wall ties. However with the advancements in building technology now available we have more cost effective solutions available to these problems without the expense of taking down exterior walls and rebuilding
