Hi all
Iv attached 3 pictures.
Opposite our stairs is a jut out of wall in the hall.. the piece of wall continues from the dinning room. We want to remove it. But im guessing there is nowhere for an RSJ to rest both ends on (just 1 end).
The wall inside the dinning room is a stud wall upstairs is a brick wall. So I guess there is a lintel there resting on the jut out of brick work in the hall. The little jut downstairs in the hall is brick... is there anyway we can remove that????maybe if we built the main room wall out of block???? Or did a block section if not the whole wall??? But can you then have an overhang of lintel with nothing under it or is that not allowed.
I hope this makes a tiny bit of sense with the photos. I won't be doing this myself but I want to know what would be involved so I can estimate a price and don't get ripped off.
Hope someone can help me
