✅ Internal Alteration Services We Offer
🧱 Wall Removal (Including Load-Bearing Walls)
Want to knock through a kitchen and dining room to create an open-plan layout? We offer safe and compliant wall removal services, working with trusted structural engineers to assess the load and install the correct RSJ. Whether it’s a stud wall or structural support, we’ll open up your space the right way.
🛠 RSJ Installation (Rolled Steel Joists)
For any internal wall removal, particularly in older homes across Kent, a rolled steel joist (RSJ) is essential to support the load above. We’ll arrange for calculations, supply the steel, and complete the fitting to full building regulations compliance.
🏡 Room Reconfiguration & Layout Changes
Sometimes you don’t need more space—you just need better use of your existing space. We reconfigure internal layouts to suit modern living, whether that’s creating a home office, moving a bathroom, or converting unused space into a walk-in wardrobe or en suite.
🎨 Finishing Touches
Once the structure is complete, we provide a full finish, including plastering, flooring, and decoration-ready prep. All work is neat, efficient, and designed to minimise disruption to your daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?
A site visit by our structural expert will determine whether a wall supports your floors or roof. If it is, we’ll arrange the necessary calculations and RSJ fitting.
Do I need planning permission for internal alterations?
Most internal works fall under permitted development, but we’ll confirm this for you. We always ensure all changes meet building control regulations.
How long does a typical internal alteration take?
This depends on the scope, but a standard wall removal and RSJ fitting usually takes 2–5 days, plus finishing time.
Do you handle the building regs and inspections?
Yes – we take care of everything, including arranging building control visits and sign-off documentation.
