FAQs

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

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

How long do structural calculations take?

Most small to medium projects are turned around quickly once we have your drawings and brief. If you’re on a tight deadline, tell us and we’ll prioritise where possible.

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

Yes. We can work from planning drawings or measured surveys. If you don’t 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 description of what you’re planning (extension, loft, or wall removal), your preferred spans or opening widths, and any site details. Photos of the existing structure help a lot.

Are your calculations accepted by Building Control?

Yes. Our packages follow UK Building Regulations and are presented in a clear format that Building Control can easily review and approve.

Do you cover areas outside Clapham?

We cover Clapham, Battersea, Balham, Brixton, Wandsworth, and the wider South West London area. If you’re nearby, get in touch and we’ll confirm availability.

Can you design RSJ beams for open-plan spaces and bi-fold doors?

Yes. We design steels for knock-throughs, rear extensions, and large glazed openings. That includes beam sizing, bearings, padstones, posts, and connection details for your builder.

What about loft details like dormers, ridge beams, and headroom?

We size ridge beams, purlins, trimmers, and dormer framing, and we check the floor build-up. We also review stair openings and headroom to make sure the loft is genuinely usable, not just technically converted.

Do I always need a site visit in Clapham?

Not always. Many domestic projects are completed from drawings, photos, and a short call. If a visit in Clapham or nearby will add value, we’ll recommend it.

How much do structural calculations cost?

We provide a fixed fee once we’ve reviewed your drawings and brief. No hidden extras — if the scope changes, we’ll confirm any updates before carrying out extra work.

What happens after I receive the calculations and drawings?

Share them with your builder and Building Control. If any queries arise, we’ll respond quickly and provide any clarifications needed so your approval process stays smooth.
