Hello all,
Hoping to get some advice on a few building questions before the new work starts. We are extending above our single brick garage (with double brick piers every 2.4ish M)
In order to create the 100mm cavity above we need to build out the existing piers to support an 8M long 203 X 102mm UB.
Are wall starters sufficient enough to secure the new blockwork (starting off the "to be exposed" footings) to the piers or does the new need to be somehow bonded to the existing?
And will standard 7n dense concrete blocks be the right thing to use above ground if rows of blues are first laid off the exposed footings?
Thanks, Matt
