Tell us what you’re dealing with — we’ll guide you to the right solution. No jargon, just clear advice.
I want to remove a wall
Creating open-plan living is one of the most popular home improvements — but if the wall is load-bearing, you’ll need a structural engineer.
Here's what happens:
- We come to your home to assess whether the wall is load-bearing
- If it is, we design the correct steel beam and supports
- We provide full calculations for building control
- Your builder can then carry out the work with confidence
- Typical timeline: 3–5 working days for beam design
I'm worried about cracks
Cracks can be alarming, but they’re not always serious. The important thing is to get a professional opinion so you know what you’re dealing with.
Here's what happens:
- We come to your home and inspect the cracking in person
- We assess the pattern, width, and likely cause
- We check for signs of structural movement
- We provide a clear written report with next steps
- Typical timeline: Survey booked within 5 working days
I need a structural report
Whether it’s for a mortgage lender, insurer, or your own peace of mind — a professional structural report gives you clarity and confidence. We’ll also review any existing survey report so our findings directly address the concerns raised.
Here's what happens:
- We come to your home for a thorough inspection
- We review your existing survey report so our findings directly address the concerns raised
- We assess the area of concern in detail
- We produce a clear, professional report suitable for lenders and insurers
- Typical timeline: Report delivered within 7 working days
I'm planning an extension
Extensions need structural design to ensure they’re safe, meet building regulations, and integrate properly with your existing home.
Here's what happens:
- We come to your home, discuss your plans and review drawings
- We design foundations, steels, and structural elements
- We coordinate with your architect and builder
- We support you through building control approval
- Typical timeline: Initial consultation within the week
I'm converting my loft
Loft conversions almost always require structural engineering — from the new floor to the ridge beam and any supporting steelwork.
Here's what happens:
- We come to your home to assess the existing structure and roof
- We design the new floor joists and steel beams
- We provide full calculations for building control
- We can visit during construction to check progress
- Typical timeline: Design typically completed in 5–7 working days
I want to remove a chimney
Removing a chimney breast — whether on the ground floor, upstairs, or fully — needs careful structural design. The remaining masonry must be properly supported to prevent movement or collapse.
Here's what happens:
- We come to your home to assess the chimney and surrounding structure
- We design the steel or gallows brackets needed to support what remains
- We provide full calculations for building control approval
- We work with your builder to ensure safe, compliant removal
- Typical timeline: Design typically completed in 3–5 working days
I have damp or mould
Damp and mould are often caused by an absence of adequate ventilation — but they can also point to underlying structural or moisture-ingress issues. We’ll diagnose the root cause and advise on the right fix.
Here's what happens:
- We come to your home to inspect the affected areas
- We assess ventilation, moisture sources, and any structural factors
- We identify whether the cause is ventilation, ingress, or something structural
- We provide a clear written report with practical recommendations
- Typical timeline: Survey booked within 5 working days
