Structural engineer Worcester for lofts, extensions and wall removals

Used by Worcester homeowners and builders
Structural Engineer Worcester is what most people search when they need calculations for a loft conversion, open-plan kitchen or home extension in the city.
We focus on Worcester’s housing stock – terraces in St John’s and Barbourne, 1930s semis around Claines and Red Hill, and newer estates in Warndon Villages, Diglis and Nunnery Wood.
- Residential only – RSJ beams, lofts and extensions for Worcester homes day in, day out.
- Fixed-fee structural calculations with clear scope agreed at the start.
- Building Control-ready PDF pack plus direct replies to Worcester Building Control if they have questions.
We work with homeowners, architects and builders across Worcester, surrounding Worcestershire villages and nearby areas.
Structural Engineer Worcester – why local homes need specialist design
Worcester has a mix of older terraces, 1930s semis and newer estates. Each behaves differently when you open walls, add a loft room or extend at the back, so the structure needs to be checked properly.
Terraces in the Arboretum and Barbourne often have shallow roofs and slim joists, Claines and Red Hill are full of 1930s semis with internal spine walls, and Warndon Villages has newer family homes where people want open-plan kitchen-dining spaces. We design around these patterns rather than treating every property the same.

What Worcester clients say about SECalcs
A few comments from Worcester homeowners who used us for their structural design.
“We were opening up our kitchen in Barbourne. The RSJ design was clear, the drawings were easy for the builder and Building Control signed it off without any fuss.”
Sarah – Barbourne
“Our St John’s terrace had a shallow roof and old joists. SECalcs explained the options and designed a ridge beam and new floor that kept as much headroom as possible.”
James – St John’s
“We added a single-storey extension in Warndon Villages. The beams, pad foundations and notes were all clear and any Building Control questions were handled promptly.”
Mark – Warndon Villages

Structural Engineer Worcester – common questions
Short answers to the questions we hear most often from Worcester homeowners and builders.
Do I need a structural engineer for a Worcester loft conversion?
Yes. Most older roofs in Worcester need strengthening before they can be used as a habitable room. We check the existing structure and design beams and joists so the new loft is safe.
Can you design RSJ beams for an open-plan kitchen?
We regularly design RSJs for kitchen wall removals, through-lounges and rear openings. You receive the beam size, bearings, padstones and clear drawings that your builder can follow.
How fast can you complete the calculations?
Once we have all the information, many small Worcester jobs are turned around within a few working days. If you have a builder already booked, tell us the start date so we can plan around it.
Do you deal with Building Control Worcester?
Yes. We prepare a pack that fits what local Building Control officers expect to see and we answer their technical questions directly as part of the fee.
Can you help if my house shows signs of movement?
We can visit, assess cracks and advise whether the problem is cosmetic or structural. Where needed we produce a report with clear next steps for repairs or monitoring.
