Load Bearing Wall Removal Wilmslow
(Building Control Approved)
Homeowners in Wilmslow and the wider Cheshire area are opening up their homes for brighter, more flexible layouts. Load Bearing Wall Removal Wilmslow is common in 1930s semis and modern detached homes where rooms can feel closed-off. We handle the structural design needed to remove internal walls safely and keep the floors above supported.
Why You Need Load Bearing Wall Removal Wilmslow
Open-plan layouts are popular in Wilmslow, but many older homes rely on internal walls to carry the floors above. Removing a load-bearing wall without calculations can lead to sagging joists, cracked plaster, uneven floors, or long-term movement.
Building Control needs a Part A calculation showing the exact loads, spans, and beam size. Guesswork is not accepted in Cheshire. You can also submit your application through the Building Control portal.

Structural Challenges in Wilmslow
Wilmslow sits on Cheshire clay, which shrinks and swells through the year. This affects older walls and foundations, so the beam has to be sized with care.
Most 1930s semis have slender joists and small original bearings, so the new steel often needs a wider padstone or trimmed connection. Modern detached homes may have lighter partitions, but the main spine wall usually carries heavy load from the first floor.
We design with these conditions in mind.
