Dust & Clean-Up

Q: How do you manage dust during the project?
A: We take dust control seriously. Our team uses protective barriers, drop sheets, and advanced tools to minimise mess in your home.

Q: Will my home be clean after the project?
A: Yes, we take great care to leave your home as tidy as possible. Our team thoroughly cleans the work area, removing debris and vacuuming to minimize dust. However, due to the nature of the work, some dust may continue to settle in your home for a few days after the project is completed. We recommend light cleaning in the following days to address any residual dust.

Q: Should I cover furniture or move items before the project starts?
A: While we take precautions to protect your space, we recommend moving any fragile or valuable items from the work area to ensure they’re completely safe.

Costs & Payment

Q: How much does it cost to remove a wall?
A: The cost depends on several factors, including the type of wall (load-bearing or non-load-bearing) and the size of the project. Contact us for a free consultation and detailed quote.

Q: Do you offer financing options?
A: Currently, we do not offer financing. 

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

A: Yes, we specialise in removing load-bearing walls safely. Our team ensures the necessary supports and beams are installed to maintain your home’s structural integrity.

Q: Will removing a wall damage other parts of my home?
A: We take every precaution to minimise disruptions and protect your home. Any unavoidable repairs or touch-ups will be discussed upfront and handled professionally.
