Kitchen Wall Knock-Through — your questions answered
- Do I need building regulations for a knock-through?
- Yes, always. Removing a load-bearing wall is structural work and needs calculations plus building control sign-off.
- How long does a knock-through take?
- Around one to two weeks including propping, steel installation and making good, plus drying time before decoration.
- How do I know if a wall is load bearing?
- Assume it is until an engineer or builder confirms otherwise. Walls running perpendicular to floor joists usually carry load.
- Do I need to tell my neighbours?
- If the wall is a party wall in a semi or terrace, a party wall notice may be required. Your builder should flag it at survey.
