Can this dividing wall be removed in a brick outhouse?

[dixonfromtheborough]

Hello all,

I have an outhouse that was built in 1956, council built. It is a single skin exterior with a concrete slab roof.

It is 3m x 2m and is split by a dividing brick wall. I want to open this up and be one room for a shed / utility room.

I had a builder look at it and he said it was fine to remove because the exterior walls support the weight of the roof, but I am still a bit weary of taking it out.

Has anyone else done this and can give advice?

Thanks,
Dan

Not a builder but my neighbour just did this with a very similar outhouse, and it's still standing

The internal wall may be the buttress that keeps the external walls from falling sideways,
