Dividing a bedroom into two

[Alan Medic]

Anyone done this before? If so can I pick your brains? What planning went into it? Was it costly overall? Would you recommend anyone/ any company?

How you access each bedroom (separately) and provide a window for each bedroom is a good starting point...

If this is a divorce matter I?d recommend a chainsaw. You could hire one for about ?100 a day.

When we did our loft we had to rearrange a couple of rooms for access. The key considerations were positioning doors and windows so both rooms had good light and sensible access. The actual construction was pretty simple, knocking down one stud wall, installing another stud wall, installing some doors, plastering and then decorating. I don?t know what?s needed in terms of building control. One thing I wish I?d thought of was radiator positioning the radiator wound up behind one of the new doors which causes problems for heat circulation.

If that were the case keano, would there be any point in going ahead with the project do you think?

I?m pleased to infer that marital bliss prevails in the Medic household.

Some useful tips above with the implied need to cost in re-routing plumbing and additional wiring for lighting and sockets etc plus the obvious (dividing) wall.

A mate of mine, Donald, has had thousands of quotes for erecting a wall, some of them rather expensive. Give me a shout if you?d like me to put you in touch with him.
