Structural work & knock-throughs in Bournemouth

Removing a load-bearing wall to create an open-plan space transforms how a home feels, but it changes how the building carries its weight. We work to a structural engineer's calculations, install the correct steel or beam, and support the structure safely throughout.

Everything is signed off through building control, and we make good afterwards so the join is seamless and ready to decorate.

Common questions about structural work & knock-throughs

Do I need an engineer to remove a wall?
If it is load-bearing, yes — calculations are required. We arrange the structural engineer and handle the building control side.
How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?
We can tell on a site visit. Internal walls running across the joists and most ground-floor spine walls are commonly load-bearing.
Is it disruptive?
There is some dust and noise for the install, but we protect the home, prop safely and clear up. It is usually a matter of days for the structural part.
