FAQs

Do I need structural calculations for a home extension or loft conversion in Altrincham?

Yes. Building Control will request structural calculations to show the design is safe and compliant. We prepare calculation packs and drawings for home extension Altrincham and loft conversion Altrincham projects.

How long do structural calculations take?

Most small to medium projects are turned around quickly once we have your drawings and brief. Tell us if you have a deadline and we will prioritise where possible.

Can you work from my architect’s drawings or a simple sketch?

Yes. We can work from planning or measured drawings. If you do not have full plans yet, clear sketches and photos are fine for a quote and early advice.

What information do you need to give me a quote?

Your address, drawings or sketches, a short scope description, preferred spans or openings, and any known site constraints. Photos of the existing structure help a lot.

Are your calculations accepted by Building Control?

Yes. Our packages are prepared to UK Building Regulations and are issued in a clear format that Building Control can review and approve.

Do you cover areas outside Altrincham?

We cover Altrincham, Sale, Timperley, Hale, Bowdon and wider Greater Manchester. If you are a little further, ask and we will advise availability.

Can you design RSJ beams for open plan spaces and wide bi folds?

Yes. We design steels for knock throughs, rear extensions and large glazed openings, including bearings, padstones, posts and connection details.

What about loft specifics like dormers, ridge beams and stairs headroom?

We size ridge beams, purlins, trimmers and dormer framing, and we check the floor build up. We also review stair opening trims and practical headroom.

Do I always need a site visit in Altrincham?

Not always. Many domestic projects are completed from drawings, photos and a short call. If a site visit will add value, we will recommend it.

How much do structural calculations cost?

We provide a fixed fee once we have seen your drawings and scope. No hidden extras. If the brief changes, we confirm any update before proceeding.

What happens after I receive the calculations and drawings?

Share them with your builder and Building Control. If queries come back, we respond quickly and make reasonable clarifications so the approval runs smoothly.
