- Wall tie failure can be devastating to a property. In the most severe cases - as with this terraced house in Stoke-on-Trent - corroded wall ties can result in part of the house being rebuilt.
In the first part of this mini series - • Wall Tie Failure: Part... - John showed you how to spot wall tie failure and how the mortar between the layers of bricks had become so loose that it was possible to see daylight through the gaps.
In this video, John shows you how we've had to rebuild part of the rear wall of the property because of the wall tie failure. He also takes a closer look at what a severely perished wall tie looks like and explains how it gets to that point.
As the BIG Man crawls between the scaffold poles, he describes how cavity walls are now constructed using stainless steel wall ties, which are far less prone to rusting.
It's important to note that the house in the video is an older property. When this house was constructed, the old type of wall tie was used universally.
Key parts of the video:
0:45 - John reveals the rear of the property (minus part of the wall)
1:15 - The BIG Man shows you what the old type of wall tie looks like
3:07 - John explains how and why wall ties rust
3:56 - John touches on Helefix Stitching which can sometimes be a solution to wall tie failure depending on the severity
4:28 - The BIG Man shows you what a stainless steel wall tie looks like
5:46 - John shows how the wall has bowed as a result of failing wall ties

We're not just passionate about property, we're HYPE
Interesting video. Your channel deserves so many more subscribers.
As always, thanks for your kind words, Jim - truly appreciated 👌 We're trying our best to build the fanbase 😉
Hi John. Who was the structural engineer you used in Stoke-on-Trent for this work? Could you recommend them?
thank you, I now know what the point of pointing is
How much would you charge for doing this job to a customer? Also how much was structural engineer and how long did ir take
Even when you fix that house, will the neighbours damage not threaten yours?
Hi there. Thanks for watching our video and for your question. It's a possibility that the neighbour's house will have an impact. Everything on the property we worked on, however, has been passed by a Structural Engineer and Building Control - so the property is covered should anything happen.
I think I may have this issue with my house 😬
Hi @@ryansamanjoul5411 . Best to get it checked ASAP if you think you have wall tie failure. It can be very destructive.
@@HYPEBuilding I’ve got a structural engineer to come have a look on the 16th, I dint realise how bad it is until I seen this 🤯🫨
No more tickle please!!!!
