A successful structural wall removal project depends on early technical planning and structural coordination. We start by protecting your property's finishes, setting up temporary structural supports, and carefully executing the structural knock-through of target walls. Our team manages the logistics of delivering and lifting heavy steel beams into place, securing them on padstones as specified by the structural engineer. Every phase is coordinated to ensure the building remains perfectly stable and completely secure throughout the knock-through process.

Once the structural skeleton is safely in place, we focus on services coordination and spatial zoning. This involves routing new pipework, running electrical lines for kitchen islands, and installing zone-specific lighting circuits. We level the floors across the newly combined rooms to create a seamless transition, followed by plastering, floor installation, and professional decorating. We conduct a detailed final walkthrough to verify that every detail is finished to our highest standards before handing over your bright, open home.

Frequently asked questions

A structural knock-through involves temporarily propping the load-bearing structure, removing the brick or block wall, installing a calculated RSJ steel beam on concrete padstones, and completing building regulations inspections.

Most internal wall removals fall under Permitted Development and do not require planning permission. However, building regulations approval is always required to certify the structural work, and leasehold flats require freeholder consent (Licence to Alter).

A standard partition wall removal, or a load-bearing knock-through with steel beam installation, will usually depend on a full site assessment and structural requirements. Timelines can vary based on factors such as the condition of the property, access, approval requirements, and the extent of finishing works like plastering and making good. Once these details are confirmed, a clearer and more accurate programme of works can be provided in line with the agreed scope.

An RSJ (Rolled Steel Joist) is a structural steel beam. It is essential when removing load-bearing walls as it replaces the support previously provided by the wall, preventing structural sag or collapse of the ceilings and upper floors.
