Do lintels/beams push up cost massively?

    We are looking at reconfiguring some rooms i.e opening them out into open plan. We have 2 possible ways of doing this and one includes knocking a load bearing wall. So we will need a beam. It would have to be to hold a wall at least 3.5 metres /12 feet or so. IS this going to add substantially to the ost? How substantially????:eek:

    Would realy need to the wall in question but shouldnt really.
    The cost of the steel, some timber to shoot on to it maybe two slabs, one bag of skim, a skip for the old wall and two guys for two days,

    Oh I see. My understanding was that lintels were quite expensive, and the work involved would be such that my other option of knocking down non load bearign wall would be far less expensive
