What Are Helifix Wall Ties and How They Work

Helifix wall ties are stainless steel helical ties designed to replace or supplement failing traditional wall ties in cavity wall construction. Their purpose is to securely connect the inner and outer leaves of a wall, ensuring they act together as a single, stable structure. Unlike older mild steel wall ties, Helifix ties are corrosion-resistant and designed to flex slightly with natural building movement. This makes them particularly effective for properties in Bristol, where older housing stock and variable ground conditions can contribute to wall movement over time. Helifix wall ties are installed through the outer wall and bonded into the inner wall using a specialist resin or mechanical fixing. This creates a strong connection without the need for extensive removal of brickwork. At ASRS Ltd, we use Helifix wall tie systems because they provide a reliable, long-term solution that strengthens the wall while keeping disruption to a minimum and maintaining the building’s external appearance.

When Helifix Wall Ties Repair Is Needed

Many properties in Bristol are now reaching an age where original wall ties are beginning to fail. This is particularly common in buildings constructed before stainless steel wall ties became standard. Over time, older mild steel ties can corrode due to moisture within the cavity. As they rust, they expand, putting pressure on the surrounding brickwork and mortar. This often leads to horizontal cracking, stepped cracks, or bulging walls. In some cases, wall ties may not have been installed correctly during the original build, leaving sections of the wall poorly supported. Properties exposed to wind-driven rain or located in elevated areas of Bristol can experience faster deterioration. Helifix wall ties repair is often recommended when surveys reveal corroded or insufficient ties but full cavity wall tie replacement is not required. At ASRS Ltd, we assess the condition of existing wall ties and determine whether Helifix systems are the most appropriate solution to restore stability and prevent further damage.

Our Helifix Wall Ties Repair Process

At ASRS Ltd, our Helifix wall ties repair process is designed to be efficient, precise and minimally disruptive. We begin with a detailed inspection using specialist equipment to locate existing wall ties and assess their condition. Once we confirm the need for repair or additional reinforcement, we plan the placement of new Helifix wall ties to ensure correct spacing and structural support. Installation involves drilling small holes through the external wall at predetermined positions. The Helifix ties are then inserted and fixed into the inner wall using resin bonding or mechanical expansion, depending on the construction type. Where necessary, existing corroded ties are isolated to prevent further expansion and damage. After installation, the drill holes are carefully filled and colour-matched to the surrounding mortar, leaving a neat and discreet finish. Our method restores the structural connection between wall leaves while avoiding unnecessary disturbance to the building fabric. The result is a strong, durable repair designed to last for decades.
