Knocking a hole in a wall to install roller door

[fourseven]

Lads,

As the topic says I want to knock a hole in this wall to install a roller door. We own the property next door which is behind this wall and the purpose will be for driving cars into the next property for parking. Who can I call to get the whole job quoted and completed? I don't want to have to deal with a company that knocks out the hole, a company that installs the door, and a company that wires it up etc. Looking for someone that can do it all.

Cheers!

Did the same thing here with our shop when we moved in , roller door dude did the whole job once owners agreed to it .

Who did you use?

Assuming you want the door below that beam it shouldn't be much of an issue. A quickcut will make light work of those bricks.

what size (m2 floor space) are the buildings?

if they're large you might have fire compartment issues.

Some local Bunbury roller door dude , Call some and ask the question ..

I hope the bricks fall onto your evo xoxoxo

you may need an engineering report for it as the wall may be load bearing. best to chat to a builder, to price compare anyway.

Buy me a strap and rent me a car and I will pay you for the event.

Looks like fun! Can see whole wall falling over though which pretty sure isn't something OP wants.

A door above the beam may require a ramp or elevator resulting in additional costs.

easy to do, just a case of fire compartments/if its a fire rated wall, which it looks like it is.

Construction wise it will be no issue, as long as you dont want to go any wider than those attached piers.
Brickwork will be cut and either a brick or steel lintel placed over depending on width. Exposed ends of the brick will be flashed and door installed. Call a few builders for quotes, they will also be able to help with fire issues, in which I have no idea about.

NFI. It's our garage, fits about 20 cars in there at the moment, already a roller door etc.

Excuse my ignorance, but is there an easy way to tell if its a fire related wall?

Thanks all, will give a few people a call unless someone on here is qualified and wants the work?

few things to look for:
does the brickwork carry all the way to the underside of the roof? not a cost effective way to build so usually only done in warehouses when needed for fire seperation. depends tho on what the wall is apart of tho on the other side, may justify why its all in brick.

if so, is there a bit of brown insulation looking stuff jammed between the top of the brickwork and the roof (not always there, but its good practice)

is the steelwork coated in what kind of looks like chunks of paper mache? could just be the shadow of the steelwork but looks to be coated and returning onto the brickwork a little

the bricks also look to be a specialty fire rated brick.


its not something you want to do on a whim and just say fuck it, its only a door and cut it in. its a big "if", but if there was a fire, all your insurances would be fingered.

Thanks mate. Will have a look, I'll definitely get someone in though.

[Big Cam]

Still need a quote, I can come have a look today.

Thread revival to avoid starting a new one. On a similar path as the OP only looking to get a regular door put into a single brick wall (internal). If there are any builders keen to quote in Palmyra (near Freo) PM me, or if anyone has recommendations let me know.

[magic1]

hi.
suggest you talk to an engineer too.
