Stud partition walls can easily be knocked down, and this is ideal if you’re looking to open out spaces, such as kitchens, dining rooms and conservatories. There is a bit of a trend towards kitchen diners, and these are essentially large American style kitchens, where you have centre islands, breakfast bars, dining areas, and your main kitchen units and appliances.

It’s a big commitment to break through walls, and you can at times require planning permission. You should always seek the services of a reliable builder, and preferably someone who has experience with suspensions.

The structural integrity of the wall should always be checked, because planning permission may become a big issue. This is why breaking through walls is something that shouldn’t be done lightly, and you should always plan everything out, using professionals along the way, making sure it’s done correctly.
