Hi Anthony,

I am not a builder or all that experienced in removing walls, I would definitely be getting a registered builder to have a look at it for you. As they should explain if its a low bearing wall then it will definitely have to be braced with a beam or something similar. As far as I am aware if its not low bearing then its just a case of knocking the wall out which isn't hard and you could do yourself.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Andrew
