Removing a wall in my house

What do you do if you would like to remove a wall in your house?

Older houses, the roof structure comes down onto the walls and that is called load bearing. This needs an engineer to design a beam to take the load and possible it needs an approval from a building surveyor.

Newer houses walls sometimes have bracing in them so they still need to be checked.

Sometimes the walls are bracing in older houses and removing them if the roof beam loads do not come down onto them is just as bad. These are jobs for an engineer to look at and design something for you.

Ask a building surveyor the question first. Get a design. Complete to correct forms and provide to council or building surveyor.
