How we deliver a structural alteration in Moss Side near Great Sankey

  1. Survey and written quote

    We look at the wall or structure you want to change and what it carries, then give you a written, fixed price quote.

  2. Engineer and approvals

    A structural engineer designs the beams and supports, and the calculations go to building control for approval. Party wall notices are served if a shared wall is affected.

  3. Supporting and removing

    The floors above are propped, the wall or chimney breast is taken out and the steel beam is set on padstones or new supports.

  4. Inspection and making good

    Building control inspect the steel, fire protection is added where required, and the walls, ceilings and floors are made good before the completion certificate is issued.

Timescales depend on the size and type of project and are confirmed in your written quote.

What a typical structural alteration in Moss Side involves

A structural alteration starts with understanding what the wall or structure is doing. Before any wall is removed or a new opening is made, a structural engineer calculates the steel beam or lintel needed and how the load will be carried down to the foundations. This applies whether you want to open up a kitchen and dining room or change the layout of a whole floor in Moss Side.

Structural work needs building regulations approval, and a party wall notice may be needed if the work affects a shared wall. The structure is held on temporary supports until the new beam is fitted and inspected. Timescales depend on the size of the change, and the programme for your project is confirmed in your written quote.

Introspec Construction is based in Preston and takes on structural alterations in Moss Side and the surrounding area. The team has more than 100 years of combined experience, is fully insured and prices every project with a fixed price quote once the survey and structural design are agreed.

Structural Alterations in Moss Side near Great Sankey, frequently asked questions

How much do structural alterations cost in Moss Side?
It depends on the span and load, the size of steel needed, access, temporary support and the making good afterwards. The structural engineer's design settles many of these details. After a site visit we give you a written, fixed price quote.
Do structural alterations need building regulations approval in Moss Side?
Yes. Removing or altering a load bearing wall, fitting steels or removing a chimney breast all need building regulations approval, based on a structural engineer's calculations. Building control inspect the work and issue a completion certificate. We arrange this as part of the job.
How long do structural alterations take in Moss Side?
It depends on the extent of the work, the engineer's design and how much making good is needed afterwards. We confirm the timescale for your project in the written quote, along with the fixed price, so you know the plan before work starts.
Should I tell my home insurer about structural work in Moss Side?
Yes, it is sensible to tell your insurer before structural work starts. We are fully insured, and you will have the engineer's calculations and the building control completion certificate to keep with your house records.
Can structural work be combined with an extension or loft conversion in Moss Side?
Yes. Opening up the back of a house often goes hand in hand with a rear extension, and loft conversions usually need steels. Doing them as one project means one design and one building control application.
Can I remove a chimney breast in Moss Side?
Usually, yes, but whatever is left above must be properly supported, normally on steel designed by a structural engineer, and the work needs building regulations approval. If the chimney is shared with a neighbour you may also need to serve party wall notice.
Can you remove a load bearing wall in my house in Moss Side?
Yes, in most houses, with the right support. A structural engineer designs a steel beam or other support, the floors above are propped while the wall comes out, and the steel sits on padstones or new supports that carry the load down safely.
Do you carry out structural alterations in Moss Side?
Yes. Moss Side is within the area we cover from our base in Preston, Lancashire. Introspec Construction has 100+ years of combined experience across the team, offers fixed price quotes and is fully insured.
