Alterations, Repairs and Remedial Works

Existing buildings often require engineering input where alterations are proposed or defects have developed.

We can assess the existing structure and provide practical designs for:

• wall removals;
• new door and window openings;
• floor strengthening;
• roof strengthening;
• replacement lintels;
• masonry repairs;
• crack repairs;
• structural tying;
• steelwork strengthening;
• repairs following vehicle impact;
• fire-damaged structures;
• decayed timber;
• unstable walls;
• damaged retaining walls; and
• alterations to traditional stone and masonry buildings.

We regularly work with older buildings where the original construction may not be fully documented.

Our designs take account of the building’s age, materials, condition and construction sequence, with the aim of retaining as much sound existing fabric as reasonably possible.
