karatekaren Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 We are thinking of buying a house but as you can see from the picture an extended bedroom has basically been cut in two because of existing structural beams. Is it possible to cut the width of these supports/ walls in order to unify the room as well as bringing more light to the back area of the room? It would make the room more attractive and usable. Would it be massively expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I am thinking is the opening is the original width of the window in the room before the extension and this was the cheap option to just keep the lintel that was there. It is probably possible to widen the opening and replace with a much longer and stronger lintel, but it won't be cheap or simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Yes Whilst it’s a straightforward job It would be destructive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekaren Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 Thanks ProDave and nod. That is what I thought. Yes- lots of mess and of course cost but having a more usable and flexible space I think would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
