RSJs and structural alterations in East Sussex
Opening up between a kitchen and dining room, removing a load-bearing wall or creating space for bifold doors typically requires a properly designed structural solution. We work from engineers’ details and coordinate temporary support, steel installation and associated building work.
The full scope may include access, protection of existing finishes, padstones or supporting masonry, Building Control inspections, plastering and making good. An engineer’s design and a site assessment help establish what is required before a fixed quotation.
