She’s miles off I’d say with 2k. I mean depending on the metal needed you’d need to price that first, probs need a structural engineer too. At a guess I’d say between 5-8

Depending on what needs doing you could be in for £10k+ at least.
Structural surveyor
Party wall surveyor (maybe not but probably needed)
Cost of steel/other supports
Cost of fitting supports
Cost of making good (cost of bricks/blocks, labour, plastering, painting, skirting etc) including potential electrical/plumbing workBest bet is to chat to a structural surveyor first, then a builder for a quote cause there are too many variables

We paid the best part of 10k in london two years ago. Structural engineer, steel, reinforcement in the basement, building control and replastering. I painted it afterwards. Did have a few other jobs done so hard to totally split it up. Not a cheap builder but we know/trust him and he was available.

4 years ago, mind. In Bristol.

We've just had a 2 meter knock through and steel put in. We're paying the guys under 2k for the steel, skip and the work but had an engineer do drawings first which was a couple of hundred, building notice is a couple of hundred, getting them to board and plaster around the new opening etc so probably pushing 3k at the end. This is in Manchester.

Anyone able to give me a really rough ballpark figure for a builder to knock down a load-bearing wall, add whatever metalwork is needed, and then make good? It's roughly 4.5 metres of wall that would need removing, and we're not in London if that makes a different.
My wife's google searching suggests about £2k, but I really feel like it would cost a lot more than that.
