Aghhh. Going round in circles with our floor, and would appreciate some input on removing this wall.

The wall upstairs is offset from this one and the people who've seen it have said this wall is non structural and doesn't require a lintel.

I have an SDS and a grinder. As I see it the main thing preventing me from diy is moving the light switch to the other side and free time.

The guys doing our floor have quoted £2k for removing it and making good. Which I don't think is an unfair price, however it makes our total bill for all the work£11k... and 9k would be better.

Thoughts?

I would cut a hole at ceiling level and confirm what way the joists above are running.. If they are running parallel with the wall, then they aren't being held up by it.. it's only a matter of pulling off the boarding and then removing the stud..

The joists are definitely running in the direction of the blue line as I put in a second ceiling light.

Probably should have said. It's a 1950s build so it's a brick wall, not a stud wall.
