WALL TIE REPLACEMENT
Cavity ties are stainless steel connectors installed within cavity walls to securely link the inner and outer layers of masonry together. They help maintain structural stability while allowing the wall cavity to perform its role in moisture control and insulation.
Over time, existing wall ties can corrode or fail due to age, moisture, or poor original materials, which can lead to wall movement, cracking, or bulging brickwork.
At Clover Construction, we specialise in identifying and replacing failed or corroded cavity ties that compromise the stability of masonry walls. We safely restore the connection between internal and external brickwork, ensuring the structure remains secure, durable, and protected against further movement or deterioration.
