Knock Through & Structural Opening Specialists
Focused, engineered knock through works delivered safely, compliantly, and with total confidence.
We specialise exclusively in knock through and structural opening works. This is the critical stage of a renovation that determines how a home functions, how spaces connect, and how successfully the wider project can move forward. Our role is to deliver this work properly, transparently, and with full structural compliance, so everything that follows is built on solid foundations.
Our Knock Through Process
Knock through works are not standard building tasks. They require careful planning, engineering coordination, and controlled execution. Our process has been developed to minimise risk, disruption, and uncertainty at every stage, while allowing projects to progress smoothly beyond the structural opening where required.
1
Free Structural Consultation, Feasibility & Quotation
We begin with a detailed assessment of the proposed knock through, considering load paths, existing structure, and the desired outcome. Following this consultation, we provide a clear and detailed quotation outlining the recommended structural approach, scope of works, and next steps.
2
Engineering Coordination
Where required, we coordinate directly with structural engineers to obtain calculations and designs for beams and supports. This ensures the knock through is engineered correctly and complies fully with building regulations.
3
Safe Wall Removal
We carry out the controlled removal of load-bearing or non-load-bearing walls using proven methods that prioritise safety, stability, and protection of the surrounding structure.
4
Structural Installation
Structural beams and supports are installed precisely in line with engineering specifications. This stage is critical to the long-term performance of the opening and is handled with care and accuracy.
5
Associated Works & Specialist Coordination
Where a project forms part of a wider renovation, we can coordinate associated works required to complete the opening, such as making good, plastering, and necessary service adaptations. These works are managed through our teams and trusted specialist contractors, ensuring continuity, quality, and minimal disruption.
This allows the knock through to integrate seamlessly into the wider project without compromising structural integrity or programme.
6
Inspection, Finishing & Handover
We coordinate building control inspections where required, complete all agreed finishing works, and ensure the opening is left clean, safe, and ready for the next stage of your project.
OUR KNOCK THROUGH SPECIALISMS
While every project is unique, our work typically falls within the following knock through applications. Each requires a slightly different approach, but all are delivered with the same focus on safety, engineering, and compliance.
Internal Wall Knock Throughs
Opening up living spaces through the safe removal of internal walls, improving flow, light, and usability.
Knock Throughs in Period Properties
Carefully managed structural alterations within older and character homes, where attention to detail and sensitivity are essential.
Structural Openings & Steel Installation
Creating wider openings where structural support is required, using engineered steel solutions installed with precision.
Knock Throughs Within Complex Projects
Structural opening works delivered as part of larger, more complex home reconfigurations and renovations.
​Kitchen & Living Space Knock Throughs
Reconfiguring kitchens and living areas to unlock space, create better connections, and support modern family life.
Commercial Knock Throughs
Specialist internal structural openings within offices, retail, and mixed-use environments.
MORE THAN JUST A KNOCK THROUGH...
Knock through works are often the structural starting point for wider home improvements. Many of our projects form part of larger renovations, including kitchen reconfigurations, layout changes, and extended living spaces. When designed and executed correctly, a knock through can act as an internal extension, transforming existing square footage into more usable, considered space at a fraction of the cost of building outwards.
​
Our role is to deliver the structural opening safely and compliantly, while coordinating seamlessly with the wider scope of works, ensuring the project can progress smoothly once the structure is in place.
