Budget planning

a variety of elements will make up the final bill. The cost of a building regulations application is set by your local authority, so check on its site for details. If you need a structural engineer to specify a beam where the wall to be removed is load bearing, it could cost around £300.

The cost of taking down a wall depends on the type, but may start from around £1,800, depending on where you live. additional costs will include those for moving radiators, light switches and sockets as necessary.
