Where to start when asking about removing a wall in house.

Roman Smajkiewicz 29/10/2026 - 8.07 AM

I’m exploring removal of a wall between a back room and a kitchen to make it more open plan. I don’t know where to start. Believe it would be a structural wall.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Dear Roman, If you’re considering removing a wall between your kitchen and back room to create an open-plan space, the best place to start is by contacting a structural engineer to check whether the wall is load-bearing and if a supporting steel beam is needed.
