We specialise in cavity wall tie surveys and remedial works. Our team uses advanced optical borescopes to diagnose wall tie failure caused by corrosion or chemical reactions. We replace defective ties in accordance with BRE Digest standards, offering 25-year insurance-backed guarantees. Our services start at 200 + VAT for initial surveys.
Damp Diagnosis
Our expert surveyors identify damp causes including rising damp, condensation, and penetrating damp. We use calibrated moisture meters and physical inspections to avoid misdiagnosis. Survey costs start at 120 + VAT for isolated issues, with tailored remedial solutions for property owners and commercial clients.

We undertake structural alterations including opening load-bearing walls, installing steelwork, and introducing movement joints. Our team has completed complex masonry renovations for Urban Splash projects in Liverpool. We handle structural repairs, lintel replacements, and crack repair systems for both domestic and commercial properties.

With dedicated teams for different construction aspects, we ensure skilled execution across all domestic property types in Cheshire and Merseyside.
