  1. His fence is just inside our garden when defined by the 30 year old boundry line. When the original wall and fence were built together 30 years ago with a different neighbour by mutual agreement, we left a gap between our wall and his fence, because we were told it was a bad idea to butt a fence right up against our wall. This new guy has mental health issues and got a kick out of moving a boundry and butting his new fence up against our wall. The landlord was involved, but would not stop him. The landlord would not stop him damaging our wall either. We have film of him drilling into our wall and us asking him to stop. We have film of us asking him to stop construction until the landlord arrived, but him not doing so. We have film of us discussing this with the landlord and the landlord saying the fence is in now.
  2. There is his fence and our wall. The 30 year boundry is just beyond where his fence is now, further into his garden. We are not bothered about that. We just want to build a wall with a fence on it to stop him constantly peering through his fence with gaps in and watching us every time we are in our garden.
  3. We had the existing wall built about 30 years ago. It is ours. As mentioned above, his fence was further away from our wall, but we can show he moved his fence up to our wall. We even have film of him drilling into our wall foundation and us trying to get him to stop. He did not. We have film of us discussing with his landlord, explaining the problems. He did this a few years ago. Again, I stress he has mental health issues.
  4. The existing wall is all natural stone. The new wall will be two 140mm wide breeze blocks with concrete cavity, with natural stone facing. The new wall is being built for strength. Ideally to put a fence on top. The bank is solid clay. We have seen it. His fence was further away from our wall, but we can show he moved his fence up to our wall. We even have film of him drilling into our wall foundation and us trying to get him to stop. We have film of us discussing with his landlord, explaining the problems. He did this a few years ago. Again, I stress he has mental health issues. The top of our existing wall is lower than the top of his fence. In the critical point it is about 48inches, 1220mm.
  5. Our wall only needs to be 1070 at its highest. The mud is only 850 at its highest. I should add, the present wall is only natural stone. That is why we want to replace the structure with breeze blocks, with maybe a natural stone, non-structural facing. We have to build it ourselves.
  6. I do not want a large gap between his fence and ours. He throws stuff into our garden all the time. The gap will just become a dumping ground.
  7. Us His posts go into the ground. We want to put up our own fence on top. I really do not think the present wall will cope with a fence on top as well. The present wall is vertical. The exiting wall is about 12 inches. 305mm. I should add, the present wall is only natural stone. That is why we want to replace the structure with breeze blocks, with maybe a natural stone, non-structural facing. Sadly I do not have a phone.
  8. We want to put a fence on top. The existing wall looks too thin. The neighbour has a fence his side, but he built it with gaps in. He constantly is hiding in the dark behind the fence and watching us. He puts up notices on our side of his fence. He has mental health issues. The neighbour's garden. It is a vertical bank of mud/clay. We have dug down 300mm and it is still clay. The existing foundations of the bit we have dug were 150mm. But as I say, we want a thicker wall to support a fence. The ground slopes gently down the line of the fence. So water should drain that way rather than into our garden. I cannot see any weep holes in the existing wall. It has been there about 30 years. It has got to be DIY.
  9. The higher ground level is 0.80m to 0.85m above the lower ground level. We would like to replace a retaining wall that is already there. We might go to a 1070mm height wall. We would then like to put a 1.8m fence on top of this wall, but it could be 0.2m lower if we do the 1070mm height. We would like to drill fence post holders into the top of the wall if possible, but want to check that is ok. How deep must the foundations be? We are in firm clay. How wide must the wall be? The present wall looks too thin to us. We were thinking of using 2 breeze blocks wide, 140mm each, so that is 280mm + cement. Probably with a bit of non-structural facing on the front. Do we need anything like ties? There are no drains etc in the area.
