What are the common types of load-bearing walls?
1. Exterior Walls
Exterior walls are always load-bearing as they support the roof and upper floors. Removing or altering them needs precise structural planning. These walls also protect the building from the elements, so they need to be professionally managed when any renovation or extension work is done.
3. Interior Central Walls
These walls are located at the centre of a home. They carry the weight of floors or the roof above. They normally have beams or a joist above; their presence within a structure is crucial to its stability. This type of wall removal requires the installation of RSJ (steel beams).
5. Walls Beneath Support Beams
These walls directly help in the transferring of weight from the beams above, down to the foundation. In the case of open floors, these walls are quite common and are essential in multi-storey buildings. Structural calculations are necessary when dealing with these walls.
2. Basement/Foundation Walls
Constructed of block or concrete, these walls are designed to carry the full weight of the building above. As part of the foundation system, they are vertically loaded by the upper levels of the building and are laterally loaded by soil pressure.
4. Cross Walls
Cross walls are positioned at right angles to floor joists and are frequently involved in load distribution. They are common in the older type of houses whereby they support floors, as well as ceilings and joists. Their removal greatly changes load distribution, which places major reinforcements in place to avoid unfavourable displacement of the structure.
Party walls are those walls which are put directly in the middle of two properties often seen in semi detached or terraced houses. They are usually not load bearing but may bear the weight of a floor or roof. All construction related to party walls is to be done after a Party Wall Agreement is in place as legal and structural precautions must be made before any approach is made.

Customer service was 5 stars, kept me updated all through the process. Definitely be using them again. Deborah Dunkley2025-05-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose this company after reading their trust pilot reviews. Initially I spoke to Amber who was very knowledgeable on the telephone and was able to speak to me in technical terms which was reassuring. A survey was arranged and carried out for the approaching weekend. Aslan carried out my Survey and he was thorough. I have now instructed them to go ahead and submit my plans for building regs and I know my project is in good hands. Yasemin A2025-05-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently used paramountbuilt for a structural survey on a property I was purchasing, and I couldn’t be happier with their service. From start to finish, the team was professional and thorough. They provided a detailed report that was easy to understand, highlighting all the key findings and offering clear recommendations. Their expertise and attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind during the buying process. Valentina Ljubchinskaja2025-05-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I applied for a house extension with Paramaunt Build and submitted a planning permission application through the council. At the start, Sophie and Zoe were very nice and helpful. Later, Sumet came on board and did a great job with the painting. I had a few amendments, including some that came after the application had already been submitted, but the team was always accommodating and made the changes as requested — they were truly kind and supportive throughout. Amber helped speed up the process, and I was told that hopefully by 8th May, the council would approve the project. And today, on 8th May, Amber called with the great news — my application has been approved! Right now, we're halfway through the process with the company, and the next steps will be with the building control department. I hope that part goes just as smoothly and efficiently. Once the whole project is completed, I’ll be happy to leave a detailed review. Thank you, Paramaunt Build team! Robert2025-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Engineers report was very thorough and his visit was prompt. It took a while for the local Council to get their act together, as they kept trying to find faults, but this is down to their employing sub standard employees. Paramount acted very quickly by answering their problems with facts and calculations. It is rather embarrassing when local councils take out their discrimination of tax paying citizens in full view of a professional tradesman and Company brought in to give a comprehensive report. Remember, the extra costs £600 have been borne by myself, personally the council should be sued for wilful obstruction. Paul Chappell2025-04-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was quoted incorrectly from the start, I was clear on what was needed. But we got there in the end, had design work for 2 steels and joist plan.End product is okay, communication was poor through out. I had to chase all the time to get completion. Got what needed in end. Annie Wheeler2025-03-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Paramountbuilt for some drawings and calculations for the removal of a chimney and the chimney breasts on the lower and upper floor of our home. Their quote was very reasonable for a surveyor to come out and a structural engineer to then give us detailed drawings and calculations to assist the builder and for the local authority regulations. The service I received from the team during phone calls I had, was also very helpful. They have lost one star from me due to some payment confusion, but it was all sorted in the end.
FAQs
Yes, a certified structural engineer is integral if you wish to alter or remove a load-bearing wall in a home. Your home must remain safe and compliant, and there is a necessary measure designed by a certified structural engineer that will ensure such.
To best establish whether a wall is load bearing or non bearing, it is most advisable to speak with a licensed structural engineer to ensure safety along with precision routers. However, a load bearing wall may be checked if it does run perpendicular to the floor joists or is directly below the beams or other structural walls.
Before proceeding with the removal, it is important to have a preliminary step done. Begin by meeting with a structural engineer who will determine whether or not a wall is load-bearing.
A partition wall may require a permit prior to removal, particularly if carrying a wall and fire compliance are involved. A local building authority or a structural engineer is advised to be consulted prior to work commences.
Yes. The removal of a partition wall poses a risk to your building’s structural integrity if such a wall is load-bearing. A structural engineer should be consulted instantly before planning any changes during any procedures.
Generally, there is no need for a permit when planning to remove a non-load-bearing partition wall. Nonetheless, should the wall be load-bearing or have an impact on plumbing or electrical wirings, approval based on building regulations will be necessary.
