Hi all,

I live in an old 1960s county council type house which I bought two years ago.

A present under the stairs is closed up with a door for storage. I want to completely remove the understairs wall/storage to make a bigger hall.

I have loads of storage so don't want to go down the road of under stairs drawers or the like.

Has anyone had this done recently. What did it cost? (just the main work, not the tiling etc) Was there beams that needed to be moved etc? Would there be structural issues etc?

Thanks

Can you post some pics, if there is a 3 to 4 inch square piece of timber running from the floor upwards to any part of the stairs that particular piece can not be removed.
