You need to take the floor boards up upstairs and see if the floor joists are sitting on the wall. Also look if there is a brick wall at first floor level directly above the one below. If you need to put steel in then you will need to get building regs approval and you may need a structural engineer to design the beam. Wont matter now if you dont but when you come to sell it might pop up and cause you grief.

At last, somebody sensible pops up
There is a brick wall directly above the one I want to remove. Not sure I can be arsed with all the building regs BS. Just want to take the wall out but obviously get it done properly and safely.
