— From Survey to Completion

The Wall Tie Replacement Process

1. Initial Survey and Assessment

Our specialists will conduct a comprehensive survey to identify signs of wall tie failure, including cracks, bulging or missing ties. We use endoscopic tools to inspect the condition and placement of existing ties. A detailed plan is developed based on our findings, outlining the best Helifix products for your property.

2. Specification of Works

A specification will be produced for the installation to be carried out and a quotation for the works.

3. Installation of New Helifix Wall Ties

Small holes are drilled at the specified intervals and new Helifix ties are securely installed without disturbing the existing masonry. The ties restore structural integrity by securely connecting the masonry leaves.

4. Testing and Quality Control

A percentage of ties are tested using a load testing unit to ensure they are properly installed and meet required strength standards.

5. Project Completion

We neatly seal the drill holes to blend with the original masonry. On completion of the work, a guarantee is issued for peace of mind.
