what is the going rate in the UK for wall tie replacement per m2?

Answer 1

It is unlikely that you will find a price per square metre for replacement cavity wall ties.

This is due to the fact that every property is different, both in the method of construction, materials used, and the vernacular style of the house itself.

A number of considerations have to be assesed "On site"
Is the property rendered, does the cavity have any insulation, and if so, what type. Is there a gable end requiring scaffolding, did the property have tie wires when built, if so, why have they failed. etc...etc.

Generally, replacing cavity wall ties is not a major undertaking. There are a number of replacement ties readily available and any competant builder would be able to carry out the installation.

The work is carried out on the outside of the property, so should not disturb the interior at all, and usually consists of drilling holes through the outer skin of the property, and fixing a special tie assembly to the inner leaf.

The ties should be fixed at 900 mm horizontally, and at 450 mm vertically. Any openings created to fix the ties should be made good, to match existing, by the contractor.

Follow the golden rule though.....Get at least 3 quotes. And, talk to the people while they are surveying, ask about other jobs they have done, ask if you can go and inspect them.

Answer 2

as a builder i have never heard of this one before ..but the answer is there is no going rate to replace tie wires in England ..please tell us all why you want to know ....the possible way to do it would be to take down the inside wall and drill and fix ties to the outside skin ..but the cost would be horrific

Answer 3

i guess you mean tiles not ties as unlike silly builder i guessed just typing error.... on a reasonable area it around twenty to twenty five pounds per m2 on new or prepared areas but on such work quality counts so try find a recomended tiler

Answer 4

I am not sure, but in business you get three quotes and choose the best! but personal useage, maybe a word of mouth recomendation would be your best bet!
