As you can see from the before photos, the bottom left handside corner of the building was in a terrible state.
This was due to a previous neghbour building a shed up against the customers house and due to no adequate drainage from the roof over a period of time the rain washed down the walls and caused a freeze/thaw process onto the bricks.

This then eroded the bricks away until finally the building started to fall away.To remedy this the old bricks had to be carefully removed and the corner rebuilt.

Also when the neighbour had built the shed, he’d knocked out bricks so he couild tie in the floor joists of his shed. These too had to be replaced and made good along with other bricks that had perished over the years.

The joints of the entire wall were then ground out and the wall repointed, coping stones were also replaced and repointed

Wall garden repair, Bilton, Rugby

As a common feature of wall gardens over a period of the time, the soil soaks up the rainwater which penetrates the brick and a freeze/thaw situation occurs. This systematically blows the face of the brick until eventually the whole brick disintegrates causing the wall to collapse. Early repairs will prevent the latter from happening […]

Early repairs will prevent the latter from happening and bring the wall back to its former glory

Hence the old bricks were removed and the damamged wall was rebuilt as can be seen in the photos (the new bricks will obviously stand out for some time until they weather and blend in the existing bricks)
