If you’ve been considering those beautiful new homes with open floor plans but found new home prices shocking, consider wall removal in your current Adelaide home.
Many Adelaide homeowners have found that simply by removing one or more walls inside their homes, they can enjoy that same feeling of spaciousness for a fraction of the cost!
The Beautiful Benefits of Removing Non-Load Bearing Walls
When you think of home improvements, you might think of kitchen renovations or bathroom remodeling, but imagine what removing one or more non-load-bearing walls in your home will do:
- Improved feeling of spaciousness
- Increased overall value of your home
- Significant ROI
- Increased natural light
- Flexible options for remodeling or room use
- More modern look and feel
- Added functionality and enjoyment from your living space
These are just a few of the benefits of removing internal walls inside your Adelaide home.
What Is a Non-Load-Bearing Wall?
A non-load-bearing wall is nothing more than a partition. It separates one room from another.
For example, think of a wall that separates two bedrooms. It really has no other purpose. Once removed, you can change two smaller bedrooms into one large bedroom or a bedroom with space for an in-home office.
Removing non-load-bearing walls leaves you with more options for your living space!
Don’t Let This Confuse You!
While removing a non-load-bearing wall might sound simple, it oftentimes is not.
These walls often hide electrical wiring, air ducts, plumbing or gas lines, which you need to reroute elsewhere, and most DIYers do not have the experience or tools to reroute these items.
Don’t forget the floors and ceilings! For a clean, professional look, ceilings will need to be replastered and painted, while the floors must be completed to give one seamless look.
Don’t risk removing an internal wall yourself and discovering these complications.

What Is the Difference Between Load-Bearing and Non-Load-Bearing Walls?
Load-bearing walls are exactly what the name says. They support the weight of either the house and roof or a second storey. In short, load-bearing walls support some other type of weight including its own.
As the name implies, a non-load-bearing wall is often nothing more than a divider between two spaces. While these walls often hide other items, such as wiring or plumbing, they do not support any weight other than their own.
Removing Non-Load-Bearing Walls: The Process
Our structural engineers will first double-check that the wall in question is not a load-bearing wall. We will obtain the necessary permits and permissions for your home renovation from your local council.
We will turn off any electricity, water, or gas if we believe we will find pipes inside that will need to be rerouted.
Wall removal is a dusty, dirty job so we will seal off the room and cover all furniture and flooring to protect your home.
Our Wall Demolition Process
Our experts will arrive on time with all the necessary tools. We will demolish the wall and reroute whatever is inside if necessary.
If required, we will replaster the ceiling and do a complete clean-up afterward.
What does this mean for you? A clean, comfortable new living space without the stress and hassle.

FAQs
Q: Do you need permission or consent to remove a non-load-bearing wall?
A: Yes, you do. Sometimes you need more than one permission or permit, depending on the extent of your renovation project. Failure to get permission or getting the wrong permits can be a costly mistake when it’s time to sell.
Wall Removal Experts SA will obtain all the necessary permits and permissions making this one less thing you need to worry about!
Q: How much does it cost to remove a non-load-bearing wall in Adelaide?
A: Every home is different, so the cost will depend on the size of the wall and what is inside the wall. On average, you can expect to pay between $300 and $1,500 per square metre.
The total contract price typically includes the cost of materials, labour, permits, and local council fees. Call us today for a free, more accurate quote with no hidden charges.
Q: What is the easiest way to tell if a wall is load-bearing?
A: Building plans are the fastest way to tell if a wall is load-bearing, but we understand that most people do not have access to those. Checking the basement and looking at the floor joists is another quick way to tell. Exterior walls are always load-bearing walls.
Q: Do I need an engineer to determine if a wall is non-load bearing?
A: While there are no laws saying you must, it is highly recommended unless you are a structural engineer or contractor. Failure to support a load-bearing wall can result in the collapse of the house at worst and a collapse of the roof at best.
Even if you plan to remove the wall yourself, hiring a structural engineer is a good idea for you and your family’s safety.
Q: Do I need a permit to remove an internal wall in my Adelaide home?
A: Yes, you do. Sometimes more than one! It’s not a user- friendly process, but failure to get the proper permits can be an expensive hassle when you sell your home, so it’s best to secure permission before starting your project.
Q: How much does it cost just to determine if a wall is load-bearing or not?
A: In general, you can expect to pay between $100 and $600. A structural engineer can determine if the wall is load-bearing, but the price will depend on several factors. Things like access to the area (is there an attic or basement), the number of floors of your house, and the size of the area involved.
