The engineering behind the architecture

Most ambitious work to a Notting Hill house has a structural job at its heart: a steel to carry an opening, a floor strengthened for a new use, foundations adapted for an extension or basement, or repairs to a building that has moved over its long life. Get the structure right and everything above it is sound; get it wrong and the consequences are serious.

Period stucco houses add their own demands. Loads, wall types and foundations are rarely what a modern drawing would assume, so structural works have to be designed for the building as it actually is — with proper investigation, an engineer’s design and a written method, not assumptions.

We bring structural engineering in-house, so the design, the temporary works, the party wall awards and the build are coordinated rather than passed between firms. Every scheme is calculated, detailed, monitored where needed and signed off by Building Control, with honest budgets in pounds sterling.

What shapes a Notting Hill structural works project

Structural work in a period house must be designed for the building as it really is.

01

Engineer-designed

Every beam, opening and repair is calculated and detailed by a structural engineer.

02

Period-aware

Loads, walls and foundations are investigated, not assumed, before design.

03

Party wall

Work to shared walls engages the Party Wall etc. Act 1996; neighbours are protected.

04

Signed off

Temporary works and the permanent structure are inspected and signed off by Building Control.

Questions clients ask before they start

What counts as structural work?

Anything affecting how the building carries load — steel beams, new openings, floor strengthening, foundation work and repairs to movement. It is always engineer-designed.

Do I need a structural engineer?

For any structural change, yes. We bring engineering in-house, so the design, temporary works and build are coordinated rather than passed between firms.

Will neighbours be involved?

Where work affects shared walls, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and neighbours are notified and protected. We manage it.

My house has cracks — can you help?

Yes — we investigate the cause of movement before designing a repair, rather than simply filling cracks that will reopen.

What do structural works cost?

It depends entirely on the scope. We give an honest budget band in pounds sterling (GBP) once the engineering is defined.
