Structural Challenges in Wilmslow
The ground in Wilmslow is mainly Cheshire clay, which shrinks in dry months and swells in wet periods. This affects how beams, padstones, and foundations behave over time.
1930s semis
Often have lighter floor joists and shallower foundations, so new openings or extensions need careful detailing.
Modern detached homes
More predictable, but large spans, open-plan layouts, and loft conversions still require accurate checks to avoid deflection or cracking.
We design with these local conditions in mind to keep everything stable and safe.
