Coastal Wall Ties Ltd

We arranged for this company to repair and replace the wall ties on 2 walls. Alex came out and gave us an estimate after which we arranged a date when he could carry out the work. We had to wait a while as he’s booked up months in advance. He turned up on the date arranged and carried out the work to a very high standard. He was friendly and polite at all times and cleared up after completing the work. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

We had the front of our house repointed and the wall ties replaced by Alex, and he was a breath of fresh air. Not only did he actually turn up to do the job he promised to do, he was 5 minutes early! Haven’t had many trades do that over the last 3 years of renovating our house!! He worked tirelessly for 2 days and at the end of each day tidied up, not only outside our house but also the neighbours, as a little dust ended up on their drive, although there was a lot less dust than feared, as he used a big hoover attached to his tools, which was excellent. The house literally looks brand new and my worry that the mortar would be too pale and obvious was unfounded as Alex tinted it to make it blend beautifully with the age of our 1930s house. He was polite, informative when I asked questions and reassuring when I worried unnecessarily! My husband and I would highly recommend his work, and would have no hesitation in giving his company name to anyone who needs this type of work done to their house. Thank you Alex.

Alex did a fantastic job repointing between 90 year old brickwork around my property which had been causing water ingress after many a heavy shower due to deterioration over a number of years. Outside looks like a new build now. Something that can certainly add value to a property. When work finished, you wouldn't have known Alex had been here as he certainly did a neat tidy up.

Alex replaced wall ties in the Southern wall of the house. Communication was great from the beginning. Alex came on time, explained in detail what will be done. The job was done greatly without any mess left. Important note, I got a feeling that he would not do anything that is unnecessary, just to charge more. He viewed the property before booking and said that only Southern wall needs to be done. I would hire him again in the future.

Alex is a reliable builder who turned up on time did an excellent job at the cost of the estimate in the budgeted time. Very impressed with his cleaning up afterwards. We are very happy with everything Alex did and would definitely recommend him.

Work carried out was timely and efficient. When we discovered the cavity wall insulation was soaking we realised that this was the cause of our serious damp problem. It’s a big job to remove it and requires serious hard work and patience. It’s also very noisy and messy. After the work was finished everything was cleaned up perfectly. We also had a wall tie issue. The ties were intact but rusting in the damp outer wall. This causes them to expand and crack the rendering. Alex located the old ties and capped them. New wall ties were then inserted. Again the work was done to the same standard.

We had Alex at Cavity Wall Ties undertake fitting new cavity wall ties, repointing and stormdry application to 2 walls of our semi-detached property. After rusted wall ties were identified Wow, what a service. From initial consultation and advice, survey and work. Not only does it look fantastic, but I am also sure that the walls will stand intact for years to come. The stormdry works well and every time it rains it is evident that the water is wicking away from the bricks. Alex worked during Lockdown to the outside of the property and when consulted was courteous and respected social distancing and was well prepared for working through covid. Great service and works, definitely recommend!

I thought I had problems with rising damp, and finally screwed up the courage to deal with it, expecting repairs to run into the thousands. Alex came round, spend a comprehensive amount of time checking out the problem, and said that it was caused by condensation, especially in the winter months. He explained how to deal with it - simple steps which I intend to follow, and getting a hydrometer which will keep an eye on the problem. I was very grateful and relieved by his recommendations, and his advice was free. Many thanks Alex. One of the good guys.

Excellent work from Alex, very clean and tidy and always courteous and willing to discuss the work. Would highly recommend CWT for any repointing or brickwork. Having seen his work at another property I noted the tidy and clean nature of the work and searched for the company online. Having read all the positive reviews, I was more than happy to discuss the work with Alex and receive his quote.

Remove cavity wall insulation and installation of new wall ties on rear elevation. Very knowledgable quote, given with no obligation or hard sell. Turned up on date / time agreed - and worked through some of the coldest days this year to complete the work. Kept us informed about what he found as he worked. Did a really thorough job, and workspace was very tidy throughout. Very polite and friendly. We are really pleased and would highly recommend this company.

A southern wall needed sealing to repel the rain & hopefully keep the inside a bit warmer. A good job was done with no mess nor fuss, for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend this firm.

Alex renewed a number of wall ties & did some extra pointing for us - in the blazing sun. He managed to colour match the mortar brilliantly to the original. Excellent workmanship, friendly, neat and tidy, nothing was too much bother. It is rare to find a workman this good these days. I would highly recommend him.

Alex is punctual, efficient and knowledgeable. He explained clearly at the estimate stage what the job would involve and carried out the work personally showing us the damp insulation as it was removed. Excellent standard of re-pointing when he replaced the bricks. Perfect clean up at end of job! Highly recommended.

We needed to have a catnic lintel installed above our living room window. The team arrived on time, and did a great job. They worked quickly and efficiently, removed the brickwork, installed lintel and replaced bricks using colour matched mortar. Very good finish. Highly recommended.

Alex turned up on time, re-pointed whole side of house in 3 days, and even did extras at no extra charge. Left site clean and tidy. Best company I have ever used and would without hesitation recommend him. Alex is very professional and committed to offering an excellent service.

He provided a very good service. He came when he said he would, explained exactly what needed doing and did it very carefully and skillfully. Even gave me choices on the exact colour of the pointing. I asked for several small extras while he was on site and he did them all at no extra cost. In short he was brilliant

Top marks all round for Alex at Coastal Wall Ties. He re-pointed one wall of our house and did a fantastic job. The wall looks perfect, good as new - but so well colour matched to remaining walls. He honestly does not drop a point on any area - excellent workmanship, friendly, reliable, trustworthy. I've no hesitation in recommending him and so glad we found him and he could fit us in.

Many of the bricks on my 1930's house had serious frost damage which detracted from its otherwise excellent state of repair. I was very nervous about having in excess of 100 bricks removed and replaced, previous owners had only ever attempted to patch up the problem. Alex and his team have transformed the house ! Both the reclaimed brick match and the pointing blend seamlessly into the walls. I couldn't be more pleased with the end product or the service.

We have just had work done on our house to rectify damp problems. The work was done to a very high standard and we would recommend this company. Alex was punctual, polite and left everything neat and tidy at the end of each day.
