One corner of my 1960's semi is just over 3' from an 8' drop to the ground level of the house next door. The retaining wall is brick, is very old, and at some stage has had some bricks removed about 4' up. My garden wall sits atop this to another 6'.
The retaining wall needs to be made good (could be 100 years old) and the garden wall rebuilt as although this is only approx 40 years old the bricks are brittle and the mortar has completely disappeared in one place where the wall is single brick between double brick pillars.
My neighbour is a landlord and has his house in 4 flats but I don't expect problems with access but I don't see any financial assistance being available.
Can you splendid gentlemen with so much experience advise me on how to go about this maintenance work.
