Wall and fence fallen down

[richmclaughlin]

Hello all.
The wall and fence that sits on top fell in after the panels got waterlogged while it was also windy.
Not ideal timing as I'm renovating the house and wasn't going to tackle this until at least the summer...
Anyway does anyone have any ideas that are cost effective for now?
There appears to be a concrete foundation so even just putting in concrete fence posts it's going to be a chore so maybe it's going to be a wall rebuild?
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Personally, I'd remove the old materials and cut/dig holes through your concrete and set new fence posts with postcrete. Use shaken concrete posts for strength and longevity. Yes, it's a bit of a mission, but decent panels set on concrete gravel boards will last many years. You might think a single skinned brick wall is stronger, but without deep footings and regular piers, walls can become unsafe.

Are the wall and fence your responsibility?

If it's a dividing line between your neighbour, maybe it can wait til clement weather arrives.
A lower wall could be a solution if you're not obsessed about privacy.

Take the timber fence off, then you will be in a better position to investigate the condition/repair the brickwork. It looks as if the wind resistance of the wooden fencing, has weakened the brickwork. Any damaged, or loosened brickwork, will need to be demolished, and rebuilt.

Thanks all. Yeah the wall is knackered so was always going to need sorting.
I think I'll try posts and gravel boards as that's what's in place further down.
Of course I'll check whether it's actually my responsibility first. Previous owners didn't know so I'll have to dig through the deeds or all the neighbours.
Cheers!
