Two poky rooms into one kitchen diner
A separate kitchen and dining room is how a lot of Teesside houses were built, and it's the first thing people want to change. Knocking the two into one is the single biggest difference you can make to a house without extending it.
It's also the job where cutting corners costs the most. That wall was holding the house up, so it doesn't just come out: the load goes onto props first, the opening is cut, the beam goes in and gets properly padstoned and supported — then everything is made good so all you see is the new space, not the engineering behind it.
Structural work like this needs building regulations sign-off, and we'll help you get that sorted as part of the job.
