Garage External Wall Blok repair The garage external wall block column has been constructed to carry load directly below the roof truss. Whilst the load on this area is low due to a lightweight roof and the top plate framing effectively spreading the downward load the column should be repaired to match the existing intact columns in the garage. The truss connections look complete and no work is needed in this area. This work should be completed by a registered L.B.P brick / block layer. Full report provided upon request
