Structural Openings & Wall Removal
Create open-plan living spaces with professionally engineered wall removals across Edinburgh and East Lothian.
Edinburgh's Structural Opening Specialists
Want to knock through a wall and open up your home? Whether it's connecting your kitchen to your living room, widening a doorway, or creating a completely new opening — we handle the structural work so your builder doesn't have to.
Every wall removal starts with a proper assessment. If the wall is load-bearing, you'll need a structural engineer to calculate the beam size and support details. We work with trusted engineers across Edinburgh and can recommend one if you don't have one already.
Once the engineer's calculations are in, we take care of everything: temporary support (Acrow props), wall removal, steel beam installation, padstones, and Building Control liaison. We leave your space clean and ready for your builder or plasterer.
