Bump on reply

I dug out in front of bricks in order to see how deep the foundations goes. And on the left hand side this is roughly 5 bricks under the ground but as the garden is on a slope, so the right hand side where the neighbours wall is must be at least 10 bricks down if the person who build the wall did it properly. My plan is to take this wall down to blelow ground level and make this wall into the back of the outershed with breeze/concrete blocks.

I dig in front of it to see how deep the foundations of this wall goes. It is roughly 4 bricks down before I hit concrete

Is it possible to go half way down vs all the way to the foundations level? Also what do you mean my undermining that rear brick as I am taking that out and going about a foot below the foundation to build it back up again. Lastly I've uploaded that 2nd pic.

Yeah my only worry is as its soil underneath, how far is the ideal footing. Also I know it's a outershed but don't want to do the work twice had have issues later on down the road.

Bump on this question. Thanks

Hi, I am digging out the footings for a outershed myself before getting a bricky in. For context I want to build a breeze block double skin outershed, the breeze block double skin walls will be on both side and back of the outershed but the front will be breeze block and bricks. I started digging out my footings to roughly 450/500mm deep but along the boundary wall, I noticed my boundary wall was slanting (see pic) and I've dug out the 4 layer brick wall and then found out they are resting on slabs (see second pic) Now as this wall is no more and I want to bring my outershed to this wall, do I need to dig all the way down and beyond to my neighbours foundation? Or do I just got a little deeper? Just note that my street where is live is downhill so our back gardens are different levels. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
