What We Do in Nottingham

RSJ and steel beam design

Most of our Nottingham work involves designing steel beams for wall removals and extensions. We handle single RSJs, compound beams, goalpost frames, box frames and chimney breast supports.

All designs include padstone details and are aligned with Part A of the Building Regulations.

Load bearing wall removal

We design the beam, check the loads and produce a Building Control-ready calculation pack. Most kitchen knock-throughs in Nottingham are turned around the next day. See our full guide to load bearing wall removal costs for what the full project budget looks like.

Loft conversion structural design

Hip-to-gable conversions, dormers and bungalow lofts are very common across Nottingham. We design ridge beams, floor steels, purlin replacements, dormer supports and stair trimming — coordinated with your architect if you have one.

Home extension structural design

Rear and side extensions often need several beams, new lintels, roof support and foundation checks. We provide full calculations, clear drawings for your builder and updates if the layout changes.

Structural inspections and reports

If you are worried about cracking, sagging floors, roof spread or movement, or you need a report for a property purchase, we can visit and issue a clear written report in plain English explaining what the problem is and what needs to be done.

Turnaround

Most standard residential jobs are completed within 24–48 hours once we have the required information.

Loft conversions and extensions are usually 2–3 working days. If your builder or Building Control needs something urgently, tell us and we will work with your deadline.
