AmyW Â Â 10 #1 Posted October 23, 2006 Hi, We are looking for a builder to knock a doorway through between our dining room and kitchen (supporting wall) and to raise the height of the lintel in the fireplace in the kitchen (to install a cooker into the gap). Will want someone who will get it signed off with building regs etc. Any recommendations? Amy x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
