A non-bearing wall is a wall that does not carry the building’s primary structural loads beyond its own required support. It may still contain important services or protective assemblies.
What this means at your property
A partition can contain wiring, plumbing or ventilation and may have a fire-resistance function. Its apparent thickness or position does not establish that it can be removed without further assessment.
What should happen before opening or removing it?
Ask the appropriate professionals to confirm the wall’s function and the systems within it. The scope should identify required access, protection and reinstatement of any affected services or assemblies before demolition begins.
