Hi,
I am a homeowner, not a builder my have reasonable DIY skills. However, I don't have knowledge regarding loads on single skin walls and what is safe to remove, hence this question please.
I have a broken brick on the course immediately below the damp proof membrane but on the corner of the garage gable wall single skin wall.
It seems as though the corner of the brick was chiselled away in the past to run an oil pipe between the tank and boiler (all now gone).
So my question is, can I remove and replace a brick from the lower corner of a single skin garage wall without compromising the gable wall when the brick is removed?
At the point where the brick is, the wall is about 7ft high and the roof meets the wall on the corner.
Thanks in advance
