With so many people choosing to improve their homes and bring them up to date, homeowners must bring on the services of a fully qualified structural engineer to make sure that any planned refurbishment works are safe and effective and comply with building regulations.
Many older houses may still have chimney breasts that owners would like removed to open up their living space. However, taking out a chimney breast isn’t as straightforward as most people think. Quite often the chimney forms part of the internal structural support and removing it without due care and attention may compromise the structural integrity of your home.
Other building alteration works can also be problematic if not done correctly, including knocking two rooms into one, moving a staircase or removing hallway walls to increase floor space, especially when it involves removing or altering a supporting wall.
