Bearing wall removal is a popular way to create open-plan living spaces, increase natural light, and modernise older homes. But when the wall in question is a load bearing wall, removing it requires more than simple demolition. A load bearing wall removal involves careful structural assessment and the design of adequate support systems to ensure the building remains safe, stable, and compliant with UK building regulations.
At Sandstone Engineering, we specialise in the removal of structural walls, including supporting wall removal, internal wall removal, and the safe installation of load bearing wall beams. We begin with a site visit to determine whether the wall is structural, followed by professional structural calculations and drawings. Once the design is approved, we carry out the removal, install steel supports, and handle all aspects of building control approval. Once the work is done, we provide you with a third-party structural guarantee by FMB.
We offer clear guidance on the cost of structural engineer for load bearing walls, and provide fixed, competitive quotes for both the design and construction phases. Whether you need help with a structural wall removal, are unsure about load bearing wall removal cost, or simply want expert advice, our team is here to make the process safe, smooth, and fully certified.
Wall removal, when done properly, not only improves layout and comfort but also adds long-term value to your property. With years of experience and a focus on compliance, we ensure every load bearing wall removal project we undertake is delivered to the highest standard.
