Structural Engineer Leeds
Leeds has every kind of house you can think of. Victorian terraces in Armley, student rentals in Headingley, 1930s semis in Roundhay and Moortown, and rows of brick homes in Beeston, Bramley and Pudsey. Many owners want to open up a cramped ground floor, convert an unused loft or build a rear extension.
We design the structure behind those plans.
You get clear calculations, simple drawings and help with Leeds Building Control. We also work across Wakefield, Huddersfield and Bradford, where older brickwork, sloping gardens and previous alterations often need careful checks.

RSJ beams and wall-removal design across Leeds
Opening up two rooms into one is one of the most common jobs across West Yorkshire. Leeds also has a lot of older terraces and semis where previous owners removed chimney breasts or added doorways without proper design.
RSJ & Wall Removal
Every house type in Leeds is different. We look carefully at load paths in older terraces, chimney breast loads, and floor span direction.
Loft Conversions
Many Leeds lofts look large but have low ridge height. We design ridge beams, purlin upgrades and dormer supports for suburbs like Roundhay and Adel.
Structural Calculations
Your local council will want proper calculations. Your pack includes RSJ beams, timber joists, steel connections and padstone checks.
Extensions
Extensions across Leeds often involve tricky layouts. We design steel beams over wide openings, roof structures, and foundations for tricky ground.
Timber Design
Leeds has a mix of older houses with thin joists. We design floor joists, roof rafters and dormer framing for Victorian terraces and student rentals.
Subsidence & Cracking
Some parts of Leeds sit on clay or mixed ground. We offer site inspections and structural reports for cracking from settlement or old alterations.
