Building / structural query

There's a wall behind our company that's falling over (see picture)

Any idea's of what you would do to fix this?

With the masses of wet weather we've had there's a bit more of a worry that it will actually fall over :/

I doubt anything can be done, short of some dreadful heath-robinson shoring.

Demolish, & rebuild.

This is kind of what my boss suspected, mainly need to work out who exactly is responsible for the wall now

If one part of it's stable you could potentially strap it just to stop it getting worse while you come up with a more permanent solution.



It's far from ideal though but at least it'll stop it falling down while you contemplate the next move which as Tikay says should be knocking it down and rebuilding it.

Thanks that could be handy to know if the proper work has to get delayed - there's very poor access for example.

That depends who owns (or is responsible for) the "good" wall & the "bad" wall.

If (say) Jon owned the bad wall, & I owned the good wall, there is no way I'd allow him to tie his dodgy wall to my good wall, because, almost inevitably, the bad wall will eventually damage, or even pull down, the good wall.
