Spreading costs
Paying for a wall tie survey in Northern Ireland
The survey itself is booked at a set price. The larger cost question usually comes later, if the specialist's report shows corroded or failed ties that need replacing.
Pay the set price at booking
The wall tie survey is booked at a fixed price, so you know the figure before the specialist arrives to check the condition of the cavity ties.
Homeowners and buyers who want the ties checked before deciding anything else.
Ask your insurer about remedial work
Many policies treat rusted ties as gradual wear, though some respond where sudden damage followed. Your policy wording decides, so speak to the insurer before work begins.
Owners with current buildings cover and cracking or bulging they have reported.
Spread tie replacement costs via a broker
If the report shows new remedial ties are needed and one lump sum is hard to find, you can ask about a referral to a finance broker.
Households who would rather pay for tie replacement in instalments.
Borrowing towards remedial tie work
Wall Tie Survey NI does not lend money. Should the survey report point to replacement ties and you prefer to pay over time, mention it when you book and we can refer you on to a finance broker. That broker is a separate firm, not owned by or part of Wall Tie Survey NI. The broker decides whether any application goes ahead, working with the lenders it uses, and we have no hand in that decision. Approval is never a certainty: an application may be declined after credit and affordability checks. If a referral ends in a finance agreement, Wall Tie Survey NI may receive a commission from the broker. Any rates or terms come from the broker only, so read them carefully and borrow only what you can comfortably repay.
