Home extension steelwork & renovations in Kent
Engineering design and calculations, steel supply, fabrication and installation for domestic extensions and renovations across Kent. We also handle the temporary propping and demolition needed to connect your existing home to the new space.
Opening your home into an extension
Connecting a kitchen or living room to a new extension often means creating an opening in an existing external wall. The design may require beams, posts, bearings and connections. These elements need to work together, so the engineering details and installation sequence should be settled before the opening is formed.
Coordinating the structural stage
We cover the structural package from engineering design and calculations through steel supply and fabrication to propping, demolition and installation. Deliveries, lifting access and inspection stages need to fit the wider build programme. We discuss these interfaces with you and your builder, including where separate groundworks, roofing, glazing and finishing arrangements are required.
When should steelwork be planned?
Raise steelwork requirements while the extension design is being developed. We can provide the engineering design and calculations before supplying, fabricating and installing the steel. Beam dimensions, bearing positions, propping and lifting arrangements can affect the wider build, so these details should be settled before demolition begins.
What affects the quotation?
The size and complexity of the opening, steel weight, access, temporary works and the condition of the existing building influence the price. Send your Kent postcode, proposed extension plans and structural drawings so we can discuss the installation requirements.
