Hi,
Can anyone offer me any advice please?
I am renovating a 50 year old ex council house and am removing a wall between a small toilet and small bathroom to make one big room on the 1st floor.
I removed the skirting board today and some plaster from the bottom of the wall. The wall looks like it is made of breeze block resting on a wooden strut, which is itself resting on the floor boards. Is there anything I need to bear in mind when removing these blocks? I expected it to be a normal brick wall underneath the plaster.
The wall runs parallel with the joists in the loft and has nothing on top of its length (a parallel joist runs a few inches away from it). There is no wall underneath it on the groundfloor. The wall also runs in the opposite direction to the floor boards that it sits on.
Many thanks,
Rich
