Where are you based?
Yeah its a stud wall!
Length of wall is 3.2m, and 2.4m high.
The arch is 1.5 wide.
The dinning room is a smallish square room and the arch separates the kitchen, which is larger. So on side of the arch will become a flat wall, the other will become a corner....if that makes sense. The rad that needs moving is on the flat wall side, and the rad in the kitchen is on the same wall, so assume merging into on larger rad would be the plan!!
Actually I'll post a picture!
So your just taking out the section of partition the width of the dining room and patching up whats left behind?
Aye! Wall down and patched up; few sockets and light switches moved and a rad sorted!
Just want to get an idea of cost for a budget, but Ill probably tackle it myself, but want know have budgeted for it incase there's any problems! ;)
Eh I am about 5 minutes away and an engineer you loo la.
