A leaning wall, displaced blocks or drainage concerns
We inspect the retaining wall, retained ground, drainage and nearby structures before recommending repair or replacement. We explain the design and approval requirements for the proposed work and set out the agreed scope in your quote.
Planning a replacement or a new garden level
Wall height, position and load affect the required design and approval checks. We identify excavation, supports and drainage in the scope. Landscaping and boundary fencing are considered separately where they depend on the retaining wall.
What Affects the Quote?
Wall dimensions, material, ground conditions, drainage, access and design requirements affect the quote.
Can a leaning retaining wall be replaced with the same type?
The reason for the movement needs investigation first. Drainage, soil conditions and loads behind the wall may change the suitable replacement design, even when the original material is preferred.
What details help assess a retaining wall project?
Describe its length, maximum height and the level difference, plus nearby buildings, fences and boundaries. Engineering, approvals and underground-service checks may be required before excavation.
