Retaining Wall in Hunters Bar, Sheffield

Rebuild of retaining garden wall in Sheffield

The client, A land lady at a student residential property in Sheffield was getting letters from the council regarding the state of her garden retaining wall sheffield at the front of her property. With it being at the side of a bus stop it was important to get it rebuilt quickly before it collapsed and harmed anyone or ruptured the gas pipe.

We carefully removed the stone copings and tried to save as many bricks as we could so as to reuse them saving time, money and making sure that the wall blended back into the the street with out standing out.  We used concrete blocks laid flat behind the brickwork to add strength and save from the brickwork pushing over again. This should last as long if not longer than the original build.
