building regs

Last year we had a wall removed from our kitchen - RSJ fitted. Several builders looked at the wall and it was 'semi-supporting' (off centre from the wall upstairs)
I checked at the time and felt from the details on our Council website that we did not need to get this work inspected - can anyone advise me?

if a support beam Ie rsj has to be fitted this is classed as structual and usually comes under building control.

so given this was done a year ago, should i just keep quiet about it now?!

chances are no one will even notice. if any thing comes at a later date just play dumb.

No such thing as a semi-supporting wall. It either supports something or it doesn't.

If its still up after one year, then there is a good chance it will stay up

so don't bother getting the council involved now
