Yes — removing or altering any load-bearing wall in your City of London property requires structural calculations proving the replacement beam and supports can carry the loads. Building Control will not approve the work without chartered engineer-signed calculations. Even partition walls should be checked before removal.
We deliver structural calculations within 1–2 weeks of receiving the architectural drawings and site measurements. For urgent projects in City of London, we offer a fast-track service (3–5 working days) at a small premium.
A structural survey is a condition assessment of the existing building — identifying defects, movement, subsidence. Structural calculations are engineering designs for new work — beams, foundations, loft steelwork. For most City of London extension and loft projects, you need calculations (not a survey). We provide calculations; we can recommend surveyors if a condition survey is needed.
Yes — we offer standalone structural calculations for City of London projects where you already have architectural drawings from another practice. Just send us the drawings and we quote a fixed fee for the engineering package. If you need both drawings and structural, our Complete package bundles them at a lower combined price.
