Load bearing wall help

Marktheshark

Is it made of Bricks or breeze block ?
If so it may be load bearing.

If its a stud wall divider, timber frame and plaster board, it is not load bearing.

yes, timber frame and plaster board. single header/top plate. Basically want to cut out 1 stud to make way for new doorway.

Top skin off first and check for wiring and get a door with frame pre-pack, frame back up and plaster board and top skim.

Not necessarily, but anyway you won't need building regs approval.a very simple job for a competent DIYer or professional.
