Precision temporary works, load-bearing knock-throughs, and certified steel beam installations across Barnet and North London.
Heavy universal beam (RSJ) hoisted into position on cast concrete padstones
Temporary works propping with Acrow props and Strongboys supporting upper floor joists
Structural steel goalpost framing installed for open-plan rear elevation
Reviewing structural engineer calcs, steel sizes and loading diagrams.
Assisting with Party Wall Act 1996 notices for shared party wall steel bearings and booking building control inspection milestones.
Erecting certified propping systems before removing any masonry.
Positioning steels, bolting splices where access is constrained, and dry-packing bearings.
Site inspector sign-off, followed by two-layer fire-rated plasterboard (Part B 30/60 minute fire protection).
Yes, or we can introduce you to our trusted North London structural engineers. Building Control requires structural calculations to specify the exact steel beam dimensions, padstone sizes and bearing requirements before any load-bearing wall is removed.
Yes. We seal off the work zone with dust-tight polythene screening, install floor protection, and maintain tidy, contained works so living spaces remain functional.
A single RSJ spans horizontally across two load-bearing walls. A goalpost frame consists of horizontal beams supported by vertical steel columns tied into the foundation, required when existing external walls lack the strength to bear the load or when wide bifold doors are installed.
