Is it difficult to move a room door from one place to another? what is the reasonable cost?

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.59 PM

I would like to change the room door in one wall to next wall (close the current opened wall down somehow and make a entrance in the next wall - i guess?) and.......... wondering how difficult it is/ how long it takes/ as it is not a normal job people do.....? is it something a normal man can do or do i need to have a builder to do? (post) thank you for your advices... it is not a load bearing wall so should not be too difficult. Do you know a rough ball park figure for this kind of work for a normal room door?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

The quickest and most obvious solution is to employ a competant builder /contractor to get the job done exactly how you envisenge it. A solid wall requires power tools i.e grinders to cut cleannly throught solid masonry causing minimal damage to extg structure; a lintel is required also to stop the new opening collapsing. Likewise a timber partion could also prove costly if you DIY it and end up disturbing extg electric cables / water pipes / gas pipes etc. My advice is to do plenty of reasarch before carrying out such DIY tasks; in heindsight nost peeps wish theyd got an expert in to get it done hassle free.

A relatively simple task but one which may be quite involved and/ or disruptive dependant upon the nature of the wall. If it is a solid (masonry) wall then it may be structural and so an assessment should be undertaken by a competent builder and/ or structural engineer prior to undertaking any works. If it is not a structural wall then best advice is to employ a competent builder who should be able to foresee the future problems, such as differential movement (cracking), and be able to employ techniques that minimise this inherent issue in this type of work.
