Wall Tie business: forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?s=5276b3c86b63848f8654c63b640ce115&t=766339&page=2#topofpageA good wall tie replacement company will be able to install ties that are suitable for the type of wall you have and perform pull tests. The bit of kit you need to have to do this test(a pull tester no less!) starts at around £1k for a cheap one. A good wall tie company will also have a good quality wall tie locator for acurate identification of the position of the old, corroding wall ties to be either removed from the wall or strucurally isolated from the outer leaf of the wall. If old corroding ties are left in situ, they will continue to expand as they corrode and continue to cause you problems, such as further cracking of render, mortar bed disturbance and even wall and roof line distortion. A good wall tie company will be able to accurately match the colour and physical properties of the mortar when making good. Seeing as many ties are installed brick to brick, I imagine you don't want your brick house looking like it has measles or been shot at!! How do you tell a good wall tie company you may ask? Well... knowledge is power. I suggest that you start of by getting the BRE (Building Research Establishment) document GRG4 (good repair guide 4) This will give you a good guide to start. GRG4 will list other documents you can read up on if you like. The wall tie replacement should be done to the following specs BRE digests 329/401 and IP12/90 & 13/90. These are also available from the BRE. Look at BRE bookshop on line. Start with GRG4! As far as price is concerned you should be able to get one wall of a bungalow done for say.. £250-£500 The front wall of a small terraced house for maybe the same sort of money and perhaps a whole 3 bed semi for £1200- £2500. There are many variable factors such as what sort of construction the build is, how many old ties need to be treated (sometimes far too many have been put in when the house was built), the type of joints to be cut out... very narrow joints are going to put up the price, other factors include whether the property is rendered, pebble dashed, painted or if the ties have to be fully extracted. All these vary the cost one way or the other. Yes, you can do this job yourself... but can you get hold of a wall tie locator, pull tester and suitable drill, ear defenders, dust mask, dust extractor, air compressor, eye protection, ladder or scaffold access and still make it pay? Just think, if you bought a £150K house and spent £1500 on the wall tie replacement service including 25yr insurance backed warranty, it would be only 1% of the property value, and would be much better value than the stamp duty too? Just to let you know, I am a wall tie installer... but I am booked up 42 weeks ahead, so don't need loads more work...I have too much already. I am not trying to protect my industry, but protect your wallets. By the way. If you really want to go the DIY route, I think that speedy services might have a pull tester (but only 1 or 2 in the whole country).They could get it sent to your local depot and hire out to you. I think it might be £50 for 1-2 days. You would really need the 0-5 KN tester if they have it. Whether or not you DIY, save money by doing the job done once only and to a good standard, no matter who is doing it. Anything else is false economy. |
