Refurbishing a home often involves strategic planning and the consideration of various stages for the best results. If you are looking to expand your kitchen or create additional living space - here, a well-thought-out rear or wrap-around extension can fulfill these needs seamlessly. Additionally, when facing structural defects in your property, such as an old leaky roof, it prompts a broader examination of potential enhancements, such as a complete roof replacement or even a transformative loft conversion. Undertaking improvements as they become necessary is not only practical but also ensures that you maximise the functionality and aesthetics of your living space.

When would I need a structural engineer?

You would normally hire a structural engineer (as well as an architect) at building control design stage, which is the period well ahead of construction. In the case of new builds or basement conversions, a structural engineer might be required to carry out a feasibility study before submitting a planning application. An architect can also advise their client when a structural engineer is required.
