Knock-throughs & new openings in Blackpool & the Fylde
Planning a knock-through in Blackpool & the Fylde? We open up kitchens, dining rooms and through-lounges — engineered, signed off and left ready for plaster.
Blackpool's tall Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them former guest houses, are full of structural work: guest-house layouts opened back into family homes, new openings in party walls, and chimney breasts out over several floors.
A knock-through joins two rooms into one — most often the kitchen and dining room, or the front and back rooms of a terrace or semi. We also form new doorways and widen existing openings, including large openings in rear walls for bifold or sliding doors.

Knock-throughs & new openings in Blackpool & the Fylde: your questions answered
Do you cover Blackpool & the Fylde?
Yes — Blackpool & the Fylde and the surrounding area are part of our regular patch. Blackpool falls under Blackpool Council building control; Lytham St Annes under Fylde Council; or a registered building control approver.
Do I need planning permission for a knock-through?
Usually not for internal walls in a house. You do need Building Regulations approval if the wall is load-bearing, and listed building consent if the property is listed.
Can you form an opening for bifold doors?
Yes. We install the steel lintel or goalpost frame the engineer specifies and leave the structural opening sized to your door supplier's dimensions.
Will a knock-through make a lot of dust?
Cutting masonry is dusty, so the work area is sheeted off, dust extraction is used on cutting tools and the site is cleaned at the end of each day.
