Structural Engineer in Golders Green: Open-Plan Alterations to Interwar Homes

Structural engineering in Golders Green

Golders Green is largely interwar housing, from terraces and semis to substantial detached homes, plus mansion blocks and flats near the centre. Families here frequently extend and reconfigure rather than move.

Knocking through

Interwar floor plans are typically a series of separate rooms. Joining them means finding out which walls are structural, then designing beams to carry the floors and roof above. We check the walls on site and design to suit what is actually there.

Cavity walls and roofs

Cavity wall construction affects how beams bear and how new walls connect to old. Roof structures vary from simple cut timber to later trussed designs, and the right loft strategy depends on which you have.

Flats and mansion blocks

In flats, work usually needs freeholder consent and careful consideration of the floors above and below. We provide clear structural information to support that conversation.
