Removing a bit of wall and moving a door frame....

[MattChan]

I'm trying to make the bathroom a little larger and my airing cupboard a little smaller!

There is a section of block work wall at the end of the bath that separates the bathroom from the airing cupboard which is currently 1.2m long and runs perpendicular to the trusses in the roof, its not visible in the roof though!

I need to trim this back by 0.5m to be around 0.7m long, is this likely to be load bearing at all or am I better off getting a pro in to blow that bit of wall away?

For a start, if any rafters/joists are sitting on a wall then you can't just hack bits off of it without seeking professional help. That includes a chat to your BCO at t'council. And maybe a structural engineer I am guessing. It could be that the rafters are not touching it but the walls connected to it are, in which case you might still weaken the structure. If in doubt, seek pro help.
