thomas Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 What's the minimum foundation size when building a sleeper wall on existing foundations? I only have around 100mm on the existing foundation, I don't really want to have to cut into the existing wall to take the end bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyshouse Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Can you draw up a plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz07 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Usually has to project 100mm min past edge of wall. Dare say people do build right on the edge sometimes. Perhaps you can tie into existing which will compensate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 I spoke to building control and they were happy for me to build a sleeper wall as long as I used ties into the original wall. I ended up just cutting holes into the original brick work, was free compared to blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
