Whats The Process of Knocking Through a Structural Wall?

Well the first step is to find out exactly what it is you would like to achieve. Once this is firmly established we can then make arrangements for our structural engineer to come up with a design. This is to ensure that all is as it should be and the proper beam is going to be used. Our structural engineer will assess the building and calculate the correct sized steel beam, RSJ or lintel to use. This would be done after the initial survey and before the commencement of any works.

Our team can carry out any structural wall knock through in Liverpool, we have a good connection with several structural engineers that we can always rely upon to provide comprehensive calculations as needed to make certain that any proposed load that is to be supported on top is professionally and properly calculated.

Once this information is available to us, we can now be sure that the RSJ or steel beam we use will be right to support any load above it. We will explain the process clearly to you every step of the way if required to ensure youare well briefed on the sequence of opertions.

As we are modifying a structure, it is usually a requirement for the local building inspector (BCO) to want to inspect any work that has been carried out to ensure it has been done safely and also to current regulations.
