Local Challenges
Alterations in Ealing
The age of Ealing's housing stock, predominantly Victorian and Edwardian, means that internal walls are often solid masonry and load-bearing. Identifying which walls are structural and designing the correct steel beam or frame to replace them is critical. We conduct a thorough assessment to specify a solution that is both safe and practical to install within an existing building.
What You Get
