I am applying for planning permission to extend my garage. It has single skin brick walls, and my plan was to keep two walls, and substantially extend in the other directions. However, one of the walls has cracks in it.
They have been there for years, and never bothered me that much, but this is one of the walls that’s supposed to stay. Is the builder going to tell me it’s easier just to knock the whole thing down and start again? If so, I would take the opportunity to move this wall about 80cm, but that would mean more foundations and would add thousands to the cost.
If I wanted to close up the cracks, what would be the approach? I wondered if I could inject something, but the cracks are so narrow.
Thanks for your help.
