Simply put, a load-bearing wall is a crucial structural element that supports the weight of the floors, roof, or walls above. Removing it without proper support can lead to serious structural problems, even collapse. That’s why a comprehensive structural engineering plan is absolutely vital before any work begins. It is also vital that you hire someone experienced and insured. Rokk Demolition & Salvage Ltd have years of experience in the industry. We offer a fully insured service.

We take a meticulous approach to every project, ensuring safety and stability are paramount. Our process typically involves:

1. Initial Consultation: We'll discuss your project goals, assess the wall in question, and provide a realistic quote.
2. Structural Engineering Assessment: A qualified structural engineer will conduct a thorough survey and create a detailed plan for supporting the structure during and after the wall removal.
3. Planning Permission & Building Regulations: We can assist with navigating the necessary approvals from Gloucester City Council.
4. Installation of Temporary Supports: Heavy-duty props and beams are installed to safely bear the load while the wall is removed.
5. Careful Wall Removal: Our skilled team will carefully dismantle the wall, taking precautions to minimise dust and disruption.
6. Installation of Permanent Support: A steel beam or other structural support is installed according to the engineer's specifications.
7. Finishing Work: We can handle the finishing touches, such as plastering, electrical work, and flooring, to seamlessly integrate the new open space.
