Wall ties are a vital structural and safety aspect of cavity walls, but many properties suffer from wall tie corrosion or failure. In these cases, it is important to carry out suitable remedial work to maintain the stability and safety of cavity walls. At Downs Property Care Ltd, we carry out wall tie replacement for domestic and commercial properties in Brighton, Worthing, Horsham and across West Sussex, ensuring the structural integrity of your walls and preventing further issues such as water ingress and damp. Whether your issue is corrosion of wall ties or insufficient ties used in original construction, we provide efficient and reliable solutions.

Take a look at our previous work to see what we can achieve for your property.
Wall ties, also called brick ties, are metal strips or bars that tie the inner and outer parts of cavity walls together. They are an essential part of cavity wall construction, helping improve stability and protect properties from the elements.
On this job we removed the render and rotten timbers, rebuilt the wall, added new wall ties and render then added new oak timbers.
This job involved render removal and cavity wall insulation removal. Our wall tie installers then added new wall ties, cavity trays and cavity wall insulation and re-rendered them with an anti-crack mesh.
Most homes and commercial properties will eventually require replacement wall ties. This can either be because builders didn’t use enough wall ties during construction or because corrosion has caused wall ties to fail over time. It can be hard to tell if you need wall tie replacement, but Downs Property Care uses specialist equipment to assess the condition of your walls and diagnose any potential issues.
If not caught early, wall tie failure causes visible damage, such as:
If you think your wall ties have failed, you must get a professional inspection before the issue escalates. Our team is on hand to provide a thorough inspection, along with expert advice and services to remedy the problem.
With over 100 years of combined experience, our team delivers efficient, high-quality wall tie solutions. Once we have assessed the issue with your property, we will carry out suitable remedial work, which involves identifying the position of existing ties and installing wall tie replacements at staggered points from the originals and at the appropriate density. We also treat the old ties to prevent further damage.
Downs Property Care also offers additional remedial work for customers in Brighton, Hove, Worthing and across West Sussex, helping return properties to an overall good state of repair. These services include lateral restraints, lintels, brickwork repointing, structural repairs and full renovation works, such as plastering, painting and decorating.
