Structural engineers for extensions and domestic alterations

Many people these days are extending or altering their homes in order to better suit the needs of modern life. If you are planning to renovate or build an extension, you might need a structural engineer to assess the structural condition of your home and calculate the types, weights and dimensions of the materials you need or want to use. Essex Structural Engineers provides domestic alterations and extension work in Essex and London.

When do I need to hire a structural engineer for a home improvement?

If you are doing any of the projects such as knocking down or altering internal walls, removing a chimney breast, fitting solar panels to your roof, modifying doors and windows, underpinning floors (for example, if your home has subsidence), you’ll likely need a structural engineer as these works could affect the stability of your home.

Whether you have an architect drawing up your home improvement plans or you are producing them yourself, you’ll need a structural engineer to step in and provide structural drawings and calculations. These will be an essential guide for your builders, telling them what materials they need to use, where and how they need to be placed.
