Cavity wall ties connect the outer leaf of brickwork to the inner wall. Over time, some wall ties can corrode, fail or cause cracking in the brickwork. Abbey Repointing Ltd can help identify signs that wall ties may be failing and carry out wall tie replacement or isolation work where appropriate.
This is often connected to repointing, brick replacement and moisture problems, so it is important to look at the full wall rather than just one crack.
A proper job, start to finish.
