Structural Engineer in Southgate: Interwar Homes and Listed Buildings

Structural engineering in Southgate

Southgate is known for its Grade II* listed Underground station and its leafy interwar suburbs. It lies in the London Borough of Enfield, and the mix of ordinary family houses and protected buildings shapes the structural work we are asked to do.

Interwar houses

These homes usually have cavity brick walls, timber roofs and fairly modest foundations. Extending them means checking the existing foundations, tying new walls to old ones and supporting any new openings with steel.

Near listed or locally important buildings

Alterations to a listed building need listed building consent, and nearby work can face extra scrutiny. Structural proposals that keep intervention to a minimum make that process easier.

Garden rooms and annexes

Large gardens make outbuildings popular. On clay soil, foundations near trees need care, and we design them to suit the ground and the structure above.
