How much to fix garden wall

meoklmrk91

Was reversing today and hit the garden wall, light tip, but the wall has a fine crack running from the top to the bottom. Don't really have the money to fix it but I'm not going to be a scumbag and leave the landlord to pay for it. Just wondering how much I'll be looking at, here is the best picture I could get.



It's pretty much the same on the other side.

There looks to be a horizontal crack in the Picture which suggests that the block has come loose of the mortar,in which case if you were to fix it properly that would mean,remove the capping,and about 5 or so blocks,plaster it and repaint the whole thing.

I understand that you want to do right,and more power to you, as most would just head over to the DIY forum,plaster up the wee bit and paint it and would not worry about it as it isn't really that much of a problem(I Think) since the capping will keep it all in place.

A decent builder could do that work in a few hours (minus the painting),especially if you took off the broken bits yourself,a bit of evening work.Keep that last bit in mind when getting quoted.

the landlord will just hold onto your deposit to cover the cost of fixing the wall . he would be right to do this aswell , if you were not to get it fixed and pay for the repair yourself .
as allready said above its a few hours work or a saturday afternoons work for any half decent builder bricky or maintanance man .
