Opening up a kitchen-diner or adding a partition can transform how a home works. The key question is whether a wall is load-bearing.
Projects that may need planning permission, building regulations approval or structural design are assessed first. We coordinate with appropriately qualified designers and approval bodies where required rather than claiming those qualifications ourselves.

Internal walls and alterations: common questions
How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?
Not by appearance alone. It needs assessment, and if structural, design by a qualified engineer.
Do I need building control?
Removing load-bearing walls requires building regulations approval.
Can you work in an occupied home?
Yes, with dust protection and planning.
