Methods for boundary and garden wall repairs

Rebuilding a leaning section

The leaning or badly cracked section is taken down, sound bricks cleaned for reuse, and the wall rebuilt on a new footing at a suitable depth. A damp-proof course and a proper coping are added, and the new work is jointed to the sound wall either side.

Best for: Sections that lean, rock or have cracked right through

Dealing with roots and soil loading

Soil banked against the wall is dug back. Where roots are the cause, the wall can be rebuilt with a lintel bridging the root zone, or realigned to give the tree room. Decisions about the tree are made with its owner and, where needed, a tree specialist.

Best for: Walls lifted by roots or pushed over by banked soil

From first photo to finished repair

Photos and ownership
Send photos of the whole wall and close-ups of cracks, the lean and the coping, plus any nearby trees. Tell us whether the wall is yours, shared or your neighbour’s, as that affects who can instruct the work.
Neighbour and notices
Where the wall is shared or on the line of junction in England and Wales, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may require notice before work starts. We can explain what is likely to be needed, and work is agreed with neighbours first.
Repair and rebuild
Sections are taken down, footings dug, and the wall rebuilt or repointed with a damp-proof course and coping. Reclaimed or matched bricks keep the wall consistent, and spoil and old materials are removed at the end.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of boundary and garden wall repairs in Lisnaskea?

Guide prices for boundary and garden wall repairs in Lisnaskea start from about £265 per wall, including VAT, on Northern Ireland rates. Your fixed written price follows photos or a survey and depends on the extent of the work and access.

Do you carry out boundary and garden wall repairs in Lisnaskea?

Survey visits to Lisnaskea are by arrangement because of travel and access. We can still give a free initial view from photos, and we tell you any travel cost before a visit is booked.

Does the ground around Lisnaskea cause cracking?

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.

Can tree roots damage a garden wall?

Yes, they often do. Roots can lift footings, push walls sideways and, on clay soils, dry the ground so it shrinks under the wall. A wall can sometimes be rebuilt to bridge roots. Take advice before removing a large tree, as it may be protected and removal on clay can cause heave.

Is a leaning garden wall dangerous?

It can be, particularly a tall wall, a front wall by a pavement or one that moves when pushed. A slight lean that has not changed for years may be stable, but a wall leaning more each year should be kept clear and repaired before a storm finds it.
