New fence has left garden wall unstable

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.35 PM

Can i just say that noone seems to actually reading my question, because if you did you would know that my garden wall was FINE and the reason its been cut for new fence is because the old part of wall fell down, that part of wall was already unstable, the part of wall iam talking about is the part that was absolutely fine but was cut to make way for the new fence, my question was my contractor left the wall how he cut it when he should have made me aware of needing a supportive pillar BEFORE he cut the wall, i was asking if there's a way to support it. I have built a pillar myself now so it's fine, but just really annoyed me that no one actually reads or asks questions they just assume , exactly same as my fencing contractor funny enough

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

A fence isn’t a wall retainer, this should of been explained by the contractor in an email, but the wall should of been repaired by the customer before hand and like I said the contractor should of made you aware of this before any work was carried out.

It sounds like the new fence that was installed may have had an impact on the stability of your garden wall. If you believe that the installation of the new fence is directly responsible for the instability of the wall, you might want to contact the company or individual that installed the fence. They might need to take responsibility for any damage caused and work with you to find a solution. In the meantime, you might want to provide some temporary support to the wall if it's visibly unstable. Good Luck

I can't comment on this particular case because I need more information, it is difficult to understand the exact problem from the way the question is worded. But, and it's a big but, any contractor who wants to maintain a good reputation should never, ever leave any part of a customer's property in a worse state than they found it, period.
