knocking an internal wall down
Discussion
The wall in question is just a plasterboard wall found in most houses built in the last 20 years. However, it's got a radiator on it one side, and a gas hob on the other.
I assume I can just knock it down, and get the gas and radiator pipes capped off and jobs a good 'un? Or is there anything else I should worry about?

On moving in to a new house several years ago there was a stud partition between the dinning room and lounge. I thought I'll take that out nice and quickly to open up the living space.
I got myself a nice big lump hammer took a big swing and it punched straight through the plaster board then the shattering of glass.
Originally there was a very tasteful glazed partition separating the rooms which somebody had just covered up.

Yup, there was a program on telly the other night, and the stud walls were supporting the roof. Guy who was renovating the house was just going to knock it through until a surveyor noticed the stud wall had additional diagonal bracing.
It's quite a rare building methoid though i understand.

Go on furtive, see if you can punch a hole in that plasterboard with your bare fist!
