Structural alterations in Cheltenham covers any work that changes how a building carries its load. Here is what that means for the most common property types in the town.
Structural alterations in Cheltenham include load bearing wall removals, chimney breast removals, new door or window openings cut into load-bearing masonry, floor alterations and any modification to the existing load path through the building. Cheltenham Building Control requires a structural engineer's calculation pack for all of these before approving the work. Structural alterations in Cheltenham calculations start from £300 and are typically delivered in 24 to 72 hours for straightforward residential jobs.
Regency terraces in Montpellier, Lansdown and the Park are built in Cotswold limestone or rendered brick, often with longer floor spans than Victorian terraces because the rooms were designed to be grander. Longer spans mean higher beam loads. Many of these properties are listed, which means the bearing arrangement and padstone design must also satisfy the conservation officer. Victorian streets in St Pauls, Fairview and Prestbury use more conventional solid brick construction. Away from Cheltenham itself, Cotswold stone properties in Cirencester and the surrounding villages have rubble stone walling with lower and less predictable bearing pressures, which requires conservative padstone sizing.
