Do You Need An Extension In Manchester ?
If you need an extension in Manchester then you will most likely need structural work done on your property . Steel are often needed for extensions for wall knock through and lintels need to be installed for door and window installations . This is all structural work and we recommend that you choose a structural specialist when structural work needs completing in your home.
For an extension often wall knock throughs are needed because when extending a wall will get removed to create a larger room such as a kitchen . Now when wall knock through’s are completed the wall that is being knocked down will most likely be load bearing especially on side of a building , and because it is load bearing if a steel is not installed to bear the weight of the building then the structural safety of the building would be compromised and not structurally sound .
Another structural service that is often required for extensions is to install a lintel above a window or door . The most common lintel installation we do for extensions is to install a lintel above French doors however lintels are needed for all doors and windows that have brick work above them so we carry out lintel installation all the time when we are working for a client who is in need of an extension .
The two images linked to this article are a lintel needed for a window and a steel that has been installed for a wall knock through when we have taken down a load bearing wall . After we carried out these works a plasterer was contacted by the client so that the steels where hidden and made to look aesthetically pleasing .
Often clients contact us to do the structural work of the extension because it is often cheaper to go with us and then go with a general contractor to carry out the remaining works because general contractors will most likely charge more for the structural work and because they know not a lot of people can carry out structural work they charge more .
However be warned that if a contractor has quoted a very low cost then the chances are is that they even do not know what they are doing or they will be cutting corners , and when it comes to structural work the last thing you want to do is to cut corners . In fact we get a large proportion of our work from clients who need a structural specialists to fix work that they’re prior contractor has messed up .
