Before I knock a wall down, what do i need to know?

[MaryMotherOfCheeses]

Don't worry, I am planning on getting a builder to do it, and I'm sure it will need a concrete lintel or RSJ putting in.

Do I need a particular type of builder? No one I know has been able to recommend anyone so I'm stuck with Yellow pages.

Do I need any kind of permission? Or to think about Building regs?

Anyone know about these things?

Ooooh mejon, thanks for that. I'll give them a call. I don't have the CAT thing though - would you mind emailing me? peachesmclean at googlemail dot com

Thanks.
