In this video, made for The Property Care Association, Bryan takes you through the basics of wall tie corrosion and he explains how it has evolved since 1986 (when Brick-Tie was incorporated).
The various levels of wall tie corrosion, which are described in Building Research documents such as BRE 401 are illustrated with real site images. Bryan sets out the current challenges that wall tie specialists and surveyors are faced with. The importance of site testing of remedial wall ties and good training is covered. A section on what can go wrong with remedial work is eye-opening.
He includes wall tie surveying tips on for example, working on cavity walls with cavities filled with insulation and the apparent under-reporting of corrosion in post war housing.
