Structural calculations and designs for the safe removal of internal load-bearing walls to create open-plan layouts.

Load-Bearing Wall Removal in Haringey

Removing a load-bearing wall is the most effective way to create an open-plan living space. Our service provides the essential structural design for this work in your Haringey property. We calculate the precise size and specification for the required steel beam (RSJ) and its bearings, ensuring the loads from the floors and roof above are safely redistributed. Our clear drawings and calculations are prepared for your builder and for submission to Building Control.

Load-Bearing Wall Removal in Haringey

In Haringey's densely packed terraced housing, the central spine wall is almost always load-bearing. Removing it requires careful design to manage the loads from two separate floor spans. For properties that have already had a loft conversion, the loads on these walls can be even greater, requiring a more substantial steel beam. Our engineers thoroughly assess the existing structure from plans to ensure all loads are accounted for, providing a robust design that prevents future cracking or settlement.
