What to expect when we carry out boundary and garden wall repairs
Site assessment
On site we check the lean with a level, look at the footing where it can be seen, note the bricks and mortar, and check for trees, soil loading and gate loads. If the wall turns out to be retaining soil, we treat it as a retaining wall.
Written quote
You receive a no-obligation written quote that separates repointing, rebuilt sections, new piers and copings, so you or your neighbour can see each part. It becomes a fixed price in writing once the repair is specified.
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.

Repair options we may recommend
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
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

Your boundary and garden wall repairs questions

Guide prices for boundary and garden wall repairs in Stourport-on-Severn start from about £300 per wall, including VAT, on West Midlands rates. Your fixed written price follows photos or a survey and depends on the extent of the work and access.

Does the ground around Stourport-on-Severn cause cracking?
Worcestershire is largely Mercia Mudstone (locally called marl) and Lias clay, with the Malvern Hills in the west. The clays can shrink in dry summers, especially near large trees. Only an investigation can say why a particular building has moved.
Can a leaning wall be pushed back upright?
Usually not in a way that lasts. Masonry does not bend back, and forcing a wall upright tends to crack it further. The normal repair is to rebuild the leaning section on a proper footing, reusing sound bricks, and add piers to stop it happening again.
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.
