Question

As part of our kitchen renovations I would like to knock through part of the hallway wall (the part that runs parallel to the kitchen) and add this space onto our small kitchen, moving the door further down the hallway. Is this possible? And how much are we look at roughly?

Charles · Answer

Hi Yasmin,

Yes this is possible. I would need a site visit or some pictures to assess the work needed in carrying out this task. Please get in touch.

Lee · Answer

yes this can be done, without seeing it its hard to give a price as it could range from it simply being a stud wall cutting out or all the way up to needing steel supports and braces to do this

Peter · Answer

Depending on the size and weight load bearing walls this is very difficult to price without visiting site or having structural plans

Mark · Answer

For sure , all things are possible in this industry its just the cost implications . If the wall is non load bearing engineers calculations would not be required. Therefore the cost would be more . Should no steelwork be required its a relatively cheap. I hope the above is of assistance. Could be up to £1500 ,without a survey. 
Kind regards

Paul · Answer

It could be possible, it depends on what is above and whether there will be a need for steel or simply a lintel above the door.

Andy Smith · Answer

If the wall is not a supporting wall then it will be labour costs and a skip to remove it. However if it is a structural supporting wall you will need a structural engineer’s report  and calculations for the size of beam required. Sometimes they may require a concrete footing depending on the age of building etc.
Further to the report you will need building control to sign off the beam installation.
So realistic costs would be £1.5k to £2k plus engineers costs and building control fees of roughly £1k.
Hope this helps with your question.

David · Answer

This all depends if the existing wall is a supporting wall for the upstairs walls as then you would be requiring a rsj fitting which is a steel joist fitted on padstones to structural engineers specification

Jason · Answer

Yes it would need a rsj in that part as you remove the wall and it will be approximately £2000 hope this helps
