Structural Alterations

Domestic & commercialBuilding & Structural · Free survey · Fixed written quotes · Guaranteed work

Opening up a home — removing a wall for an open-plan kitchen, taking out a chimney breast or forming a new opening — is structural work that has to be designed and signed off correctly. We handle knock-throughs and load-bearing alterations with the right steelwork and calculations.

What's included

  • Load-bearing wall removal and new openings
  • Structural-engineer calculations
  • Correctly sized steel beams and padstones
  • Chimney-breast removal and support
  • Building-control sign-off
  • Making good — plaster, floors and decoration

We arrange structural-engineer calculations, install correctly sized steel beams (RSJs) with proper padstones and support, and make good the plaster, floors and finishes so you would never know a wall had been there.

Structural Alterations — frequently asked questions

Can I remove a wall between my kitchen and dining room?
If it is load-bearing, it can still come out with a properly designed steel beam. We arrange the calculations and building-control sign-off.
Do I need a structural engineer?
For any load-bearing change, yes — we organise the engineer's calculations as part of the job.
Is building control needed for a knock-through?
Yes, and we handle the notification and inspection through to sign-off.
How long does a knock-through take?
A single opening with a steel is often done in a week or two including making good; larger reconfigurations take longer.
