Knock-throughs & new openings in Urmston & Flixton
Planning a knock-through in Urmston & Flixton? We open up kitchens, dining rooms and through-lounges — engineered, signed off and left ready for plaster.
Urmston, Flixton and Davyhulme are full of Edwardian and 1930s semis, where the dining room and kitchen are separated by a load-bearing wall that's begging to come out, and the back of the house is ready for a full-width opening.
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 Urmston & Flixton: your questions answered
Do you cover Urmston & Flixton?
Yes — Urmston & Flixton and the surrounding area are part of our regular patch. Urmston and Flixton fall under Trafford Council building control, 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.
