What a Structural Engineer Does in a Typical UK Home
Most houses follow simple load paths. When you change anything structural, the forces need checking so the building remains safe.
A structural engineer helps with:
- RSJ design for wall removals
- Loft conversions and ridge beams
- Extensions and new openings
- Floor and roof upgrades
- Garage conversions
- Validating builder suggestions
- Producing Building Control packs
The aim is simple: keep the building safe and provide clear documents your builder can follow.
Residential Projects We Work On Every Week
Every design is written in simple language and follows Eurocode standards used by Building Control across the UK.
Wall Removals
Common in 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and newer estates. We design RSJs, padstones and bearing details.
Loft Conversions
Dormers, floor joists, ridge beams and roof strengthening.
Home Extensions
Rear, side and wrap-around layouts, including long spans and corner openings.
Garage Conversions
Floor loads, lintels above the old garage door and new stud layouts.
Internal Alterations
Upgrading undersized beams, replacing old timbers or checking previous DIY work.
Roof & Floor
Deflection checks, rafter upgrades and joist sizing.
