Remove load-bearing walls safely with a professionally installed RSJ. Transform separate rooms into a bright, modern, open plan living space

Open plan living is one of the most sought-after home improvements in Sheffield and across the UK. By removing the wall between your kitchen and dining room, or between your living room and hallway, you create a spacious, light-filled area that transforms the way your home looks and feels.

However, many of the walls homeowners want to remove are load-bearing – meaning they support the weight of the floors and roof above. Removing a load-bearing wall without proper structural support would compromise the integrity of your entire home. This is where a steel beam (RSJ) comes in.

At Designed to Build, we install RSJs to safely replace the structural support provided by the wall being removed. The beam transfers the load to the remaining structure, allowing you to enjoy your new open plan space with complete confidence in its safety and structural integrity.

Every wall removal and RSJ installation we carry out is backed by structural engineer calculations, fully compliant with Building Regulations, and signed off by Building Control.
