Load Bearing Wall Specialists Elton
Every property contains loadbearing walls, sometimes positioned to carry loads from the floors above, and sometimes to distribute loads throughout an existing space across greater spans.
One of the most crucial considerations before commencing any internal renovation within your property is to establish which walls are loadbearing and which are not.
If you are remodelling the interior of your home and seeking a more open plan arrangement, the likelihood is that you will be removing a supporting wall, and should this be the case, it will need reinforcement with a new loadbearing RSJ beam.
Steel beam (RSJ) installation and loadbearing wall removal create additional internal space, for instance, opening up the arrangement of a ground floor, by removing a structural wall and transferring its load onto a steel beam. Work encompasses the structural engineer’s calculations and building control approval, temporary support (Acrows and Strongboys) whilst the wall is removed, installing the steel onto padstones, building in the beam, and making good walls, floors and ceilings.
Also employed to form substantial openings for extensions, knock throughs and wide bifold or sliding door openings.
