  1. Thank you for the reply's everyone. I have asked for structural engineer to inspect the garage base. In the mean time I will cover the cracking to prevent anymore rain from getting in.
  2. Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone can give some advice on cracking on the garage base please ? As you can see from the pics the garage base is on a slope so the damage might be caused by subsidence. The concrete base itself has no cracking and is flat which is good news, however (in pic 9) there is a crack from the top to the bottom, and (in pic 7) the brickwork is coming away. Also in in pic 11. it looks like the footer is exposed. It would appear the wall is a retaining wall as it does not support the concrete base. What I plan, is to repair the crack in the wall using mortar filler, and reattach the concrete blocks that are coming away. Is this a good idea ? Not sure about the base, does it require underpinning or not ? Just recently moved into the property. The old prefab garage with asbestos roofing was demolished last year. What I would like, is to build a wooden garage in its place. If anyone can give me some advice on this I would be most grateful Thank you
