Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a structural engineer for wall removal?
Yes, if the wall is load-bearing, you must have a structural engineer calculate the correct steel beam (RSJ) size to support the floor or roof above. Our builders can often recommend trusted engineers or work with your existing plans.
What is a load-bearing wall?
A load-bearing wall supports the weight of the elements above it, such as the roof or floor joists. Removing it without proper support can cause your house to collapse. Never attempt to remove a wall without professional advice.
Do you handle Building Control applications?
Yes, structural alterations require Building Regulations approval. Our partners can handle the liaison with local authority Building Control or private inspectors to ensure all work is signed off and you get your completion certificate.
Can you repair cracks in brickwork?
Yes, we offer masonry repair and repointing services. Cracks can be a sign of subsidence or lintel failure, so our builders will assess the root cause before carrying out cosmetic repairs to ensure the issue is properly resolved.
