Hi, can anyone help? We have an arch created from a previous internal wall in our kitchen. We wanted to take this arch out to open up the kitchen dinner and realised that there is a steel joist above the arch. In order to take the arch out completely we will need to replace the joist with one approx 200mm longer taking it from the external wall to the internal wall in the centre of the house. Can anyone tell me if I will need to speak to building regs and get permission for this?
Thanks in advance
