Throughout the 20th century, fishtail and then butterfly wall ties were the go-to choice to connect the inner and outer leaves of cavity walls. However, these mild steel ties are prone to rust and properties built with these tend to have the worst failed wall ties.
Modern remedial wall ties are made of stainless steel with neoprene sleeves. The tie features a unique ‘tall-nut’ which, once tightened, forces the neoprene expander to open and grip in the masonry. These ties are highly resistant to corrosion, minimising the risk of rust and wall tie failure, which is why we only use stainless steel wall ties.
As wall tie specialists, we make sure the products and materials we use comply with the latest British Standards. Various standards apply to the design and use of wall ties, including:
Also called remedial wall ties, mechanical ties are designed to replace or supplement existing wall ties. We use mechanical steel ties to repair properties in the North East, ensuring we use the right option for each project. These ties come in various lengths to accommodate different cavity widths and are installed with a drill rather than manually, resulting in an efficient installation process.
Mechanical ties are suitable for brickwork that’s in good condition and cavity walls that don’t have cavity wall insulation. Our wall tie specialists will survey your home in Wallsend, Whitley Bay or the surrounding areas to identify the best solution. We can advise on other options if mechanical stainless steel wall ties aren’t suitable.
