Not the left it's the right hand section of frame is staying

Lol not anymore.def the frame but the left hand up right is staying and i would like to take the bricks out aswell cos theres no need for them to be there.its a timber beam/wall plate.it rests on the wall either side.its a 1910 mid terrace if that's any help

Also thanks for the reply

I'm pretty sure the ceiling joists are sitting on it and that bit of timber I think is a wall plate and spans the wall which is approx 5mtrs and the beams sit on that.it also goes into the brick work on the left

Can somebody help.im taking out the left hand side and the top section of door frame.it looks like its surporting the beam above which the joist are sitting on.will I need a lintel or is the beam sufficient

I want to move a door a mtr and block up the old door way in load bearing wall.can I use 7.3n celcon blocks

Would be easiest option but I'm just trying to keep the cost down

Thanks for you advice very helpful.could I use the starter packs either side to build the wall and could I use breeze blocks of concrete.this is a first floor bedroom and there is a steel 2.5mtr catnic below just wondered if this would make any difference

Can anyone help me in installing a lintel for a doorway. I want to put a new opening were the green tape is and seal up the old door way.but I'm unsure if you can put a lintel next to the other wooden lintel.its a main supporting wall.also if I could put a new lintel next to the wooden one I...

There is only a loft above so just joist running front to back and there is a loft hatch opposite the door.its a terrace house if that helps with anything.

m looking to create a hallway from top of the stairs through a bedroom.can I remove the bricks above the existing doorway at top of the stairs so its flush with the ceiling.this does not seem to be a surrporting wall Help would be much appreciated

The wall is a party wall.so if I wanted to go close to the corner as possible i would have to break into the party wall approx 100mm and leave 100mm sticking out.
