Removing garden wall attached to house

[StudWall]

As per the title I've got a brick wall between the house and the garage which has a gate in the middle to get to the rear of the house.

I want to remove this wall and replace it with a double wooden gate (further back towards the garden).

As the wall is joined to the house and the garage walls, is there an easy way to remove the garden wall without damage to the house and garage, and clear up the house and garage walls to remove any leftover concrete?

Is it tied into them? i.e do bricks extend into the house or garage wall? If not then go nuts just start bashing, cutting through the wall in the middle first will make the whole thing much easier and less destructive.

If however it is tied into the other walls you have a tedious period ahead of toothing out the bricks and half bricks projecting into the house or garage walls and replacing them.

Process will be the same though, cut through the wall in the centre first and demolish but just be more gentle around the tied in bricks, also remember to save some to patch back up.

No the garden wall was built later and is made up to the house and garage walls, then attached by pointing between them, I can imagine a mess will be left when I remove the garden wall

Stiff brush and brick acid

The answer to many an embarassing ailment, too.
