❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Wall Ties in Leeds, Bradford & Wakefield
At Yorkshire Preservation Services, we specialise in wall tie replacement and cavity wall repairs across Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, and the wider West Yorkshire region. Below are the answers to the most common questions we receive about wall ties, wall-tie corrosion, and structural wall repairs.
🔩 What are wall ties and what do they do?
Wall ties—also called cavity wall ties—are metal components installed in cavity walls to connect the inner and outer brickwork. They provide structural stability. Over time, wall ties in many Leeds, Bradford, and Wakefield homes corrode or fail, requiring replacement to prevent structural damage.
⚠️ What are the signs of wall tie failure?
Signs of wall tie failure include:
- Horizontal cracks in brickwork
- Bulging or bowed walls
- Rust staining or damp patches
- Loose or separating bricks

🧱 Why do wall ties fail?
Wall tie corrosion is the most common cause, especially in properties built from the 1930s to 1980s. Moisture causes metal ties to rust, expand, and crack the surrounding brickwork—often seen in homes across West Yorkshire.
