Why lofts in Manchester need proper structural design

Manchester has thousands of terraced and semi-detached homes with pitched roofs that depend on internal load paths. When converting a loft, the structure changes. That means you need a structural engineer Manchester to calculate the right beams and floor strengthening.

Our detailed planning is essential for avoiding renovation mistakes during the build.

Sometimes these projects also coincide with a ground floor load bearing wall removal, which we can calculate simultaneously.

If your loft connects to a wider remodel, see how we handle wall removals in Didsbury.

Whether it is a loft or home extension structural design, we ensure full compliance.

Common homeowner problems we solve

• Builder needs  steel beam calculation  results before quoting
• Unsure how many  loft conversion steel beams  are needed
• Building Control asking for structural calculations
• Concern about floor bounce or roof sag
• Unsure if the roof can support a  loft conversion dormer

We design everything clearly so the build can move ahead safely.
