Yes, but if the wall is load-bearing, you’ll need a structural engineer to design a safe alternative support, usually a steel beam (I-Beam). Removing a load-bearing wall without calculations and building control approval can be dangerous and illegal. Get in touch for the calculations you require.

Load-bearing walls typically support the weight of floors or the roof above. Signs include walls aligned above each other through storeys or running perpendicular to floor joists. A qualified structural engineer can confirm this with a site visit and structural survey. Book a survey with us here.

Yes. Chimney breasts are often structural, supporting masonry above. A structural engineer will assess the loads and design steel supports if needed. You'll also need structural calculations for building control approval. Speak to an engineer now.

Yes, this is a common renovation. A structural engineer will assess the wall and design a steel beam to support the load. You’ll receive calculations and drawings needed for building control and your builder.

You’ll need to submit structural drawings and calculations (if applicable) to your local authority or an approved inspector. We regularly work with building control to ensure all structural elements meet UK Building Regulations.

Structural calculations are detailed engineering assessments showing that beams, foundations, and other elements are safe and meet British Standards. You need them for any structural alterations—like removing walls, loft conversions, or extensions.

Costs vary depending on project size and complexity, but most residential extension projects range from £300–£1,000+ for calculations and drawings. We offer fixed-fee quotes with no hidden charges. Get your free quotation now.

We typically turn around domestic structural drawings within 3–7 working days after receiving all information. Faster turnaround available for urgent jobs.

Cracks can result from settlement, movement, or structural issues. A structural survey will identify the cause and advise whether repairs or further action are needed. Book a structural survey here.
