Hi all
I plan to extend my attached garage. One wall of the extended part of the garage will be formed from an existing 9" thick boundary wall. This wall already forms one wall of the existing garage - and it is the continuation of this wall that I planned to use. However BC have told me that the section of the wall that will form the extended part of the garage will likely need underpinning / rebuilding. I have to dig a trial pit to expose the foundations. Can someone tell me what depth / type of foundations would be deemed suitable and not require such work and what would not be deemed suitable? Thanks.
