Getting rid of an arch

blainey · 9 Apr 2006

Hi there
I have an archway instead of a door in one of the rooms of my flat. How easy would it be to remove the arch and reinstate a door? Is it something a non-expert could do?
Thanks
Al

It depends on how the archway is constructed. If the top half is just a mould or frame then it'd just be a case of knocking this back to solid brickwork, fitting a door frame, architrave then the door.
Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply. When I tap the arch there is definately very hollow sounding area at the top of the arch. Hopefully I'll be able to knock that away then.
Cheers

Yeah, should be quite easy to do. Its probably just wire mesh under there thats fixed to the masonary.
