Structural engineering for wall removals, new openings, and reconfigurations in homes across Kingston, Surbiton, and New Malden.
Structural Design for Internal Alterations
We provide the essential structural design for internal alterations to properties throughout Kingston. From removing a load-bearing wall to create an open-plan kitchen-diner in a Tolworth semi, to creating a new opening in a Victorian terrace in Kingston town centre, our engineers provide clear, practical solutions. We ensure all changes are structurally sound and fully documented for Building Control approval.
Local Challenges
Internal Alterations in Kingston upon Thames
Altering older properties in Kingston, particularly Victorian and Edwardian homes, requires a sensitive approach. Years of previous, often undocumented, alterations can complicate the structural assessment. We carefully investigate the existing structure to understand load paths before designing new steel beams or lintels. This ensures that any changes do not compromise the stability of the rest of the building, including adjacent properties.
