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.
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.
3. internal wall removal
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).
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.
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.
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.

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.
In the UK, knocking down a non-load bearing wall removal usually costs £300–£1,000, depending on size, access, nd finishing work needed.
