Cut open wall. Remove all plaster to reveal stud from floor to ceiling. Do not remove stud at this point,
Measure distance between studs on left and right of stud to be removed,(should be around 32.
Divide this by 3,(around 10.75).
Install 2 studs at these locations on the left and right of stud to be removed.
Cut out centre stud.
