I have been informed that gable end of our house is bowing out from the internal joist and we need to have helifix ties. Do we need a specialist to do this

Without looking at it I wouldnt like to recommend what you need to do. A decent surveyor should be able to provide a spec to rectify the problem either that or put a job request on here. It certainly sounds like you need to strap/tie the affected walls to something structurally sound within the property.

What would you like to do now?
