Hi
We are looking into extending above our attached garage/utility room with a front to back extension. Thought planning stage so far.
The garage itself juts out from the main line of the house by around 2 metres.Best example i can find is here http://www.bellway.co.uk/ne/HadrianVillage/pdfs/BELSAY2.pdf
very similar style house as in front elevation.
The external wall is single brick leading onto the double skinned utility room which is directly behind the garage.
Now i need to ask, would the garage wall have to come down in order to build up or can an rsj be mounted on the external wall and across to the main wall on the opposite side of the garage ?
A few houses on our estate have had alterations done and a few have had walls come down whereas others have just built on top the existing wall.
One builder said that the foundations were sound so they just built a block wall from garage level and continued to roof, surely this will decrease the width of an already small garage ?
