WWilts Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) How to repair this load bearing block? Damaged when builder knocked through inner leaf foundation blocks at door. Cutting out and replacing would be structurally satisfactory. Is there any alternative? Edited February 24, 2022 by WWilts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickie Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 If you want be a bit OCD you could use the tray as a shutter & feed some stiff concrete in there. Is it just that corner of the block that’s broken off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outcome: Patching the holes with 1:3 cement:sand mix (builder volunteered) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
