How we usually approach boundary and garden wall repairs
Repointing and minor repairs
Weak mortar is raked out and the wall repointed in a mortar that suits the bricks, and damaged bricks are replaced with matching ones. Loose copings are rebedded or replaced with a design that throws water clear of both faces. This is often enough for an upright wall.
Best for: Upright walls with weathered joints, loose copings or spalled bricks
New piers and movement joints
Brick piers are built at intervals along the wall, bonded in or tied with stainless fixings, to stiffen it against wind and lean. Vertical movement joints are cut where a long run keeps cracking. Gate piers are rebuilt larger and on deeper footings where they carry heavy gates.
Best for: Long walls with regular cracks, or weak gate piers

Why do houses in County Fermanagh crack?
Fermanagh has limestone, sandstone and glacial till around the lakes, with soft lakeshore ground in places. Only an investigation can say why a particular building has moved.
Does home insurance cover a fallen garden wall?
Sometimes, but many policies exclude garden walls or cover them only for certain events, such as vehicle impact or storm. Frost, wear and tree root damage are usually excluded. If a vehicle caused the damage, the driver’s insurer may pay. Check your policy and tell your insurer before permanent repairs start.
Who is responsible for a boundary wall?
Responsibility depends on who owns the wall, which is shown in your title deeds and plans, or may be shared. A wall built on the line between two properties is often jointly owned. Check the deeds first and agree repairs with your neighbour, and in England and Wales check whether the Party Wall Act applies.
