FAQs

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

Yes. Building Control will request structural calculations to confirm that your design is safe and compliant. We prepare clear calculation packs and drawings for home extension Highgate and loft conversion Highgate projects.

How long do structural calculations take?

Most small to medium projects are completed quickly once we receive your drawings and brief. If you’re working to a deadline, let us know and we’ll prioritise your project where possible.

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

Yes. We can work from architect drawings, planning sets, or measured surveys. If you don’t have full plans yet, clear sketches and photos are usually enough for us to quote and advise.

What information do you need to provide a quote?

We’ll need your address, drawings or sketches, a short outline of the work (extension, loft, or wall removal), and any key spans or opening widths. Photos of the existing structure are also very helpful.

Are your calculations accepted by Building Control?

Yes. All of our calculation packs follow current UK Building Regulations and are presented in a professional, easy-to-review format that Building Control officers recognise and approve.

Do you cover areas outside Highgate?

We cover Highgate and nearby areas across Greater London, including Hampstead, Muswell Hill, Crouch End, and Finchley. If you’re close by, get in touch and we’ll confirm availability.

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

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

Do you handle loft details like dormers, ridge beams, and headroom checks?

Yes. We design ridge beams, purlins, trimmers, and dormer framing, and we check the loft floor structure for proper load paths. We also assess headroom and stair placement to make sure the loft feels spacious and practical.

Do you always need to visit the site in Highgate?

Not always. Many domestic projects can be completed using drawings, photos, and a short call. If we feel a site visit in Highgate or nearby would be useful, we’ll suggest it.

How much do structural calculations cost?

We provide a fixed fee once we’ve reviewed your drawings and brief. There are no hidden extras — if anything changes, we’ll confirm before carrying out additional work.

What happens after I receive my calculations and drawings?

Share the documents with your builder and Building Control. If any questions come up, we’ll reply quickly and provide any clarifications needed to keep your approval process moving.
