How to Knock a Load-Bearing Wall in the UK
I have been demolishing load-bearing walls in my projects for over 20 years. Most of my clients are homeowners in the UK who don't know how a load-bearing wall is taken down and who worry about the consequences. I made a video about the cost of removing a wall in 2024 but in this video, I explain the methods used to do this work. Do not attempt this yourself and always take professional advice as early as possible in any project.
