Steel beams & wall removal
Open up your home,
safely.
Taking out a load-bearing wall is one of the most effective ways to make an older layout work for modern life, whether that means joining a kitchen and dining room or creating a new room under the stairs. The wall’s load has to be carried by new supports, usually a steel beam, so the work needs to be planned and sequenced carefully.

What the work involves
Removing a load-bearing wall is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval. The size and type of beam are normally set by a structural engineer’s calculations, which building control will want to see. While the wall comes out, the floors and walls above are held up with temporary supports, and the new beam is installed on suitable bearings before the supports are removed. Building control may also ask for the steel to be fire protected, for example by boxing it in with plasterboard.
If the beam needs to sit in a wall you share with a neighbour, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may require you to serve notice on them before work starts.
Recent work our clients have reviewed
Jobs mentioned in our Google reviews include removing a supporting wall between a kitchen and dining room using three steels, and knocking through under the stairs to create a downstairs shower room. You can read a selection of reviews on our reviews page or see them all on Google.
One team from opening to finish
Because our team covers structural work, carpentry, plastering and decorating, we can take the project from the first opening through to the finished room. That often includes the new kitchen or flooring as part of a wider renovation.
