Structural Engineer in New Southgate: Garden Rooms, Outbuildings and Extensions

Structural engineering in New Southgate

New Southgate sits on the border between Barnet and Enfield, with interwar and later houses on reasonably sized plots. That makes garden buildings and extensions attractive, and both need sound foundations.

Garden rooms and outbuildings

A garden room can be light, but it still needs to sit on suitable foundations. On clay, the depth depends on the soil and on any nearby trees, and a heavier annexe or studio needs full structural design. Whether Building Regulations apply depends on size and use, so it is worth checking before you build.

Rear extensions and loft conversions

The standard structural package applies: steel beams over new openings, checks on the existing walls and foundations, and design of new roof and floor structures.

Two boroughs, one engineer

Depending on the street, your planning authority may be Barnet or Enfield. The structural design does not change, but the submission route might, and we can work with whichever applies.
