Bad storms and property damage?!
Question: in this part of UK we have had alot of bad weather recently, the night before last was one of the worst we have had yet, i woke up yesterday morning to find that one of the walls had been brought down, the gap is about 30 foot wide it's been stood there for many years and it has crushed all my garden furniture even a massive brand new BBQ that i got for the summer, there have been some work men drilling next door and doing some demo work on the building...i cannot see the wind blowing such a huge wall down like that..do you think it may have something to do with the workers and the drilling that's made the wall collapse...i have 2 small grandchildren who play in the garden all the time and if one of them had have been out there, lord knows what my have happened.....is this the workers fault or did the weather bring the wall down? because i need my landlord to do something about it, also the gap leads out onto the main road and i have a very inquisitive cat who loves to venture out.....

Sounds like those workmen and their drilling is responsible for the damage, are you insured, if so get in touch with the insurance company and they will be able to give you the real reason for the damage, hope you get things sorted out and thank goodness your grandchildren were not there when it happened.
Are you sure your grandchildren weren't tormenting your cat, causing it to jump on the wall and knock it down.
Structural engineer to investigate the wall, leash for the cat!
Check to see if they've dug any footings out from the other side of the wall. Or removed earth close to it. That's their fault then, bad weather or not.
Forget the cat.
Get on to the Council surveyors and get them to investigate.
If you have home insurance contact the company and give them the facts.
Now to the cat.
Lock the door to the room that is open to the elements. If the house is not fit or dangerous the council should re house you.
