Steel beam installation & wall removal in Didsbury & South Manchester
South Manchester's Victorian and Edwardian semis — Didsbury, West Didsbury, Chorlton and Withington — are classic knock-through territory: two reception rooms into one, or the kitchen opened into the return.
Many of these streets are in conservation areas, which rarely affects internal work but matters if the rear wall is being opened up; we flag it at survey.
Didsbury and Chorlton fall under Manchester City Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
