Internal wall removal with indemnity policy on another part of the house

[JohnD]

it doesn't look big enough to me, unless it is part of a trussed partition or something.

What are its dimensions?

 

[Radders_23]

It's 320 long which corresponds with the 320 long wall on the first floor and then 16 cm wide

 

[JohnD]

160mm wide

and how deep?

What's the upstairs wall made of?

 

[Radders_23]

I believe the upstairs is a brick wall. The depth of the beam is 110mm. I've just inspected further and can see that this isn't on top of the tiles

It may not be a brick wall in the true sense. In our house project the upstairs walls were/are actually wooden studs fixed to joists and a sole plate supported by just a double joist below. Infilled (fairly crudely) with single skin brick, and plastered over.

Is there anyway to tell without stripping all the plaster? I have tried to lift the floorboards but can't quite manage it
