What is the WTIF?
The Wall Tie Installers Federation has been promoting professional standards in remedial wall tie work since 1989.
We provide training and guidance for specialist contractors and help property owners find trained professionals for the investigation and treatment of wall tie problems.
Our members work to recognised industry guidance and WTIF standards, helping to ensure that problems are properly investigated, appropriate remedial work is specified, and installations are carried out professionally.
Could Your Property Have a Wall Tie Problem?
Problems with wall ties are not always obvious, and visible cracking can have a number of different causes.
If you are concerned about cracking, movement or possible wall tie problems in your property, the WTIF provides straightforward information to help you understand what may be happening and what a professional investigation involves.
What Happens Next?
A professional investigation is the first step towards understanding the condition of your property and whether remedial work is required.
A WTIF member can arrange an appropriate inspection of the property, investigate areas of concern and provide recommendations based on their findings. The investigation may involve examination of the external walls together with further checks where necessary to establish the condition of the existing wall ties.
