Structural Alterations in London

Structural Alterations & Wall Removal for London Homes

Fusion Recon Renovations carries out structural alterations and wall removals for London homes, from Victorian terraces and 1930s semis in Bromley to contemporary apartments and townhouses in areas such as Wimbledon, Dulwich, Blackheath, Clapham and Chelsea.

Homeowners searching for a structural alteration contractor near me or a wall removal specialist near me are usually looking for a team that can open up space without putting the property at risk. We plan every alteration with temporary supports, clear sequencing and tidy site protection so that your home remains safe, liveable and respectful of neighbours throughout the works.

Opening Up Spaces Safely

In many projects we open up walls between kitchens, dining rooms and living spaces to create brighter, more sociable open-plan layouts. Structural alterations often go hand in hand with a new kitchen, so we regularly coordinate our work with full kitchen renovations and wider residential renovations to keep the schedule efficient and disruption low.

Load-Bearing Wall Checks & Structural Design

Before any load-bearing wall removal in London, we check whether the wall is structural, review calculations and plan the correct size of steel beams (RSJs), padstones and posts. Where required, we liaise with your structural engineer and building control inspector, and we can also integrate our work into larger full house refurbishment schemes or structural packages delivered by our commercial builders team.

Knock-Throughs for Kitchens, Living Rooms & Extensions

Typical knock-throughs include combining a small rear reception with the kitchen, opening up a dark hallway, or creating a larger kitchen–diner with direct access to the garden. When layouts change, we think ahead about services and can coordinate with new bathroom renovations, rerouted plumbing and future storage so that the finished space feels deliberate rather than improvised.

Chimney Breast Removal & Steel Beam Installation

Chimney breast removal, inserting new lintels and installing steels require careful sequencing so that neighbouring properties and party walls remain protected. Once the structural work is complete we make good brickwork and blockwork, ready for fresh plastering and skimming or external rendering where openings are altered on outside walls.

Making Rooms Ready for Finishes

After walls are removed or moved, we straighten edges, level ceilings and tidy cable routes so that finishing trades can work cleanly. Our team regularly prepares structural alteration areas for follow-on wall and floor tiling, high-end painting and decorating and bespoke carpentry and joinery, helping you achieve a consistent finish throughout the property.

Structural Alterations as Part of Wider Refurbishments

For landlords and investors, structural alterations are often the first step toward increasing rental yields or making a property more attractive to professional tenants. We can build structural work into tailored landlord refurbishment packages so that new layouts, finishes and compliance upgrades are planned together from the outset.

Working Alongside Other Trades

We are used to coordinating with architects, interior designers, structural engineers and specialist subcontractors on projects across London. Clear communication, up-to-date drawings and agreed sequences mean that each trade knows when it is safe to start, what has already been completed and how their work connects to the wider structural scheme.

Landlords, Investors & Commercial Clients

Whether you are repositioning a rental flat, reconfiguring a family home for future resale or altering layouts in a small commercial unit, we focus on structural solutions that are robust, compliant and practical to maintain. Careful planning around noise, dust and access helps minimise downtime and keeps neighbours, tenants and building managers informed during the works.

Planning Permission, Building Control & Compliance

Every structural alteration has to respect building regulations and, in many cases, party wall legislation and leasehold requirements. We help clients navigate the practical side of gaining approvals by sequencing works around inspections, keeping photographic records and ensuring that details such as fire protection, sound insulation and escape routes are considered from the start, so your structural alterations in London are safe, certifiable and ready for the finishes that follow.
