Airing Cupboard Knock-Through & Box Lintel Installation – Biddulph, Staffordshire

Our team was recently contacted by a homeowner in Biddulph who wanted to make their kitchen feel more spacious without committing to a full extension. The existing layout included a small, unused airing cupboard that restricted the available space and made the kitchen feel cramped. They asked us to explore whether this section of the wall could be safely removed to create a more open, practical layout.

After carrying out a full site inspection, we confirmed that the cupboard could be knocked through with the correct structural support in place. We supplied and installed a robust box lintel, allowing us to safely remove the dividing structure while maintaining the integrity of the building.

Once the lintel was fitted, we opened up the area, re-finished the walls, and seamlessly tied the new opening into the existing kitchen space. The result is a noticeably larger, more functional kitchen area—without the disruption or cost of major building works.

This project shows how even small structural alterations can deliver big improvements to everyday living space. If you’re in Biddulph, Newcastle-under-Lyme or the wider Staffordshire area and want to maximise the space in your home, our team can provide expert advice and a free quotation.
