Information on Knocking Down A Supporting Wall
As I will be changing the room somewhat by knocking down a supporting wall. Do I need permissions from the local authorities to knock the supporting wall before I proceed? Incidentally, I live in the United Kingdom. I have had mixed messages from various people as to whether or not I do. I'd like a professional, preferably based in the UK, to answer my query so I can be absolutely certain.

I'm not a proffesional, but, I know a man who knows a bit about these things and he doesn't think you need permission.
But, and this is a big BUT, you do need to ensure that you have supported the joists, above the wall before you start demolishing any walls. Failure to do so would probably result in a structural failure. It is strongly recommended that you employ the services of a proffessional for this sort of job. |
