This Video is a complete step by step guide how to remove a load bearing wall safely and efficiently, and installing 2 RSJ hidden in the ceiling void. So no ugly bulk head.
1. Basics of Removing a Load-Bearing Wall:
Load-bearing walls support the weight of the house and are different from non-load-bearing walls.
Removing a load-bearing wall involves careful planning, design, and skilled labour.
After removing the wall, it must be replaced with a beam that spans the entire space or with a beam and supplemental vertical posts.
2. Reasons for Removing a Load-Bearing Wall:
Removing load-bearing walls can help widen doors, expand rooms, improve traffic flow, and transform segmented footprints into open-plan homes.
3. DIY vs. Professional Removal:
Properly removing a load-bearing wall involves replacing it with a structural beam, which requires meticulous undertaking and skilled labour.
It is important to consult with a knowledgeable and affordable structural engineer for the necessary expertise and peace of mind.
4. Safety Considerations:
Removing a load-bearing wall without proper precautions can lead to house collapse and structural instability.
5. Choice of Beam Materials:
Choosing between wood and steel support beams is an important consideration, with each material having its pros and cons.
6. Structural Integrity:
It is crucial to identify and understand load-bearing walls before undertaking any home renovation project to mitigate potential risks associated with their removal.
If you require specific guidance on removing a load-bearing wall, it is recommended to consult with a structural engineer or a professional contractor to ensure the safety and structural integrity of the building

very helpful, cheers
Top man. Much more better effect when the steel is flush in the ceiling, a lot more complicated to do though. Great work
👊🏼. Yes i think its better to spend that extra time and sink it.
@@pauljamieconstruction1871what are the blue strong boys called you use to support the wall upstairs? I am doing an almost identical project
Absolutely brilliant - best yet. Learned loads! Thanks Paul
Thank you brother. I tried to simplify it on this one. I assume everyone understands my lingo.
subtitles are handy lol

Great job - how much would something like this cost?
Good! Roll the carpets next time, folds make creases ;)
😂😂😂. Sorry
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 to be honest mate, I couldn't give a toss either. Not my carpets to replace :)
Top workmanship. Love the fact that the RSJ is sunken, looks so much better.
Quick question if you don’t mind, please - we have a wall that we would like to remove in order to creat a bigger, more open plan kitchen/diner, however, I think the joists run in opposite directions (i.e., the front room joists run east to west and the back room joists run south to north if that makes sense). Would it be possible to sink an RSJ, creating a flush ceiling in this scenario?
Thanks for your comment . The answer is absolutely yes you can. We have just done the exact thing last week. I am currently editing the video to drop tomorrow hopefully. If you would like us to do it , just us know.
That’s great to hear! Thank you for getting back to me. We’re just in the planning stages at present. I look forward to seeing your new video and will be in touch in the near future for sure. Thanks again
Cheers mate! Decent work and vid
Thanks mate. Have you got one to do?
@pauljamieconstruction1871 nothing like that
I need you to come and do ours, great vid
WE WILL COME AND DO IT BRO NO PROBLEM.
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 I'm in Nelson, Lancashire, if it's something you'll consider, I'll reach out via mobile
Well done mate! The strongboys at the floor above were only needed because you were sinking the RSJ and cutting the joists that were supporting the load bearing wall above, right? Otherwise, would the acrows downstairs be sufficient?
Absolutely correct. But you have to check that there is no gap above the joists even a small one, as the wall above could drop .
Hi Paul,
I’m having a none load bearing internal wall (it’s has been confirmed by structural engineer)
My question is do I have to notify building control before removing the wall or after? Or is it building regs need to be informed?
Thanks for ur help in advance.
Ps. I haven’t seen helpful information on the net
usually you would get them out to check once the wall is down and the rsj is installed, as its not load bearing , im not sure they need coming out. Maybe give the building inspector a call first. Good luck
Question, if an internal brick wall on the ground floor of a two storey house, doesn’t have a directly above it, does that mean the ground floor wall isn’t load bearing?
If you use a spanner, you don’t have to worry about the length of the thread ! 😂😂😂😂
Thats a great point. But only spanners use spanners. 😂
