Corrosion-resistant replacement ties
Modern, high-grade stainless steel replacement structural fixings designed to permanently resist moisture breakdown.
A close-knit team providing a personal touch
An attentive, customer-focused structural remediation service delivered directly by friendly trade experts.
A solid 30-year track record in building repairs
Decades of local masonry stabilisation experience dealing with severe wall movement and horizontal brickwork cracks.
Restore strength before wall movement gets worse
Cracks in brickwork, bulging masonry and signs of wall movement can all point to failing wall ties, and that's not something to leave for another season. We inspect the wall carefully to check the condition of the existing ties and see how far any corrosion has spread. Once we know what's happening inside the cavity, we can recommend the right replacement work to restore support between the inner and outer walls.
We carry out structural fixings updates across Yorkshire for homeowners, landlords and property professionals who need a clear answer, not guesswork. Our team at CS Damp Proofing Ltd brings 30 years of remedial experience to this kind of structural repair, which matters when small cracks may be hiding a bigger issue. Catching the problem early can help you avoid further damage to mortar joints, brick faces and the overall stability of your property.

A careful process that keeps the repair focused
Our assessment looks at the affected walls in detail, including the condition of the original ties and the extent of any failure. Where damaged fixings need to be removed or isolated, we plan that work properly before installing modern corrosion-resistant replacements. The aim is to stabilise the wall without turning your property upside down, so we keep disruption to a sensible minimum.
Moisture exposure, which requires a joint approach with our damp proofing services, the age of the building; and poor original installation can play a part, which is why a proper inspection matters more than a quick glance. Around Ripon, we've seen how older metal ties can expand as they corrode and start pushing against surrounding brickwork.
