Knocking a wall down and moving some pipes to join kitchen and dinning?

Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.41 PM

Hi I am right to think it should be all right to knock a door through a small internal wall approx 1.3m wide x 2.2 m high in a 4 bed detached house.Might need steel reinforcement as might be load bearing to create a small arch door 0.8m x 1.9m from kitchen do dining living room. Also would need to redo the pipework going in front of the wall and relocate 2x electrics sockets toilet (water+waste pipe) to be hidden under the floor level to enable smooth passage rather than going as now 10cm above floor level by the wall. I guess the floor foundation might be concrete so a could be difficult to get through to put the pipes in but not impossible? Or could this be against building regs? don;t think it would we need a planning permission?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

You do not need planning persuasion for these works however depending on structure you may need a structural calculation. 99% of the time a pre stressed concrete little will suffice. Anything is possible with the right knowledge.
