Remove the wall which am not sure is load bearing wall

joists

I have removed a stair wall but not sure if it was a load bearing wall or not.

That’s a stair wall and the house is townhouse and on top floor the wall is not attached to the loft.

Added a picture and highlighted the joist which makes me concern with red.

Please advise to see if it’s load bearing wall and put a column under the block.

Also i have added 2*(2*4) timber under the joist above the wall.

Thanksenter image description here

This may sound like a trivial answer, but - you should just check.

With the authorities

In many (most?) states in the world, house construction plans must be submitted to a local/regional planning body where they are kept in an archive. go get a copy. The plans should somehow (fingers crossed) indicate which walls bear load.

It's probably a good idea to have a copy of those plans anyway.

Consult a professional

Find a home constructor - or a company which does home construction - and ask them to determine that for you. They will probably take a bit of money, but not that much.

Show them the plans if you have them!

Newbie sentiment: Better to feel sorry for wasting a bit of money than to feel sorry for cracks or a collapse of part of your house.
