Removing Internal Walls & Load Bearing Wall Removal
Many homeowners want to remove internal walls Southport properties often have, especially in period houses where smaller rooms can feel restrictive. When the wall is non-load-bearing the process is relatively straightforward. When it is load-bearing, careful structural design is essential. We arrange the necessary structural engineer calculations, specify the correct steel beam (RSJ or Universal Beam), manage temporary propping during the works, and ensure the new opening is properly supported and finished. All load bearing wall removal Southport projects are carried out in full accordance with Building Regulations and inspected by Building Control, so you receive the required completion documentation.
