We want to make kitchen dining room open plan, we've been told that to knock one wall out we will have to smash through upstairs is there any other ways around this?
The best advice I could give you would be to contact a structural engineer. They will be able to tell you if a wall is loadbearing and, if so, how best to support the wall above (e.g lintel, steel beam etc.)
