Hello
A friend of mine wants to remove the stud wall between his kitchen and dining room. Can he/we just remove it or are there any notices he needs to make? It's a 2 storey detached house.
Also, in another house with 3 storeys there's a stud wall with a door (with a self closing device) between the lounge & kitchen that I'm also considering taking down. What's the rule on the closing door? Does the kitchen need to be seperate or is that if there is a door it needs to be self-closing (i.e. no door = no problem)? What if I put double doors in instead - do these both need to be self closing?? What are the rules 'cos the bathroom door is not self closing but all other ones are.
Thanks!
Steve
