Support For Wall

andyhandy

Hi all
I'm doing a kitchen extension to my own property (after 15 years of neglecting my poor wife in favour of other people's work!) I need to provide some support for an adjoining outbuilding wall while I dig out the foundation for my new walls. There appears to be no foundation under this outbuilding wall, it is only 2 metres high single brick. My new foundation will need to go in at 1 metre deep and extend under the outbuilding wall some way. I don't want to be down the hole if the wall comes down Any suggestions? I just had a thought about mini-piling - any possibilities?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Andy, welcome to the site.

I would remind you that this site is for professionals in the contracting field. Please post an introduction in the Introductions forum and tell us a bit about yourself and your company.

The best way to support that wall is to get an experienced person out there to look at it. There are dozens of ways to skin a cat, but some will kill you.
