What is a cavity wall tie?

Cavity wall ties are built into the cement joints between the bricks during a building's original construction and hold the stronger internal and weaker external aspects of a cavity wall together.


Prior to the mid 1930s, many cavity wall ties were installed without a galvanised layer of protection, making them vulnerable to corrosion over time and leaving older properties with potential structural issues in the future. Cavity wall tie failure is therefore more common than you may initially think.

How to identify cavity wall tie failure

As wall ties are generally a case of out of sight, out of mind, it can be difficult to diagnose when your property has cavity wall tie failure. However, there are a number of symptoms which usually accompany corroded or otherwise faulty wall ties:

  • Horizontal cracks in your masonry
  • Bulges or dips in your brickwork
  • Separation of the outer leaf from the inner leaf of your wall

If you are uncertain whether you have cavity wall tie failure, out team are happy to help. We can carry out a property survey to get to the bottom of your structural problem and suggest an effective solution. Don't hesitate to get in touch today.

Galvanised Ties Are Mandatory

Since 1990, cavity walls and galvanised ties were made mandatory as part of industry building regulations. The experts at Croft Preservation can assess the condition of your existing cavity wall ties using the latest diagnostics technology and create a detailed report outlining our proposed treatment.


In most cases, individual ties will need replacing or new ties will have to be installed to support the interior and exterior walls. Wall ties are usually stainless steel, which withstands corrosion from damp. Cavity wall ties are maintenance free, so once they're installed, there's no reason to worry about them.
