Load Bearing Wall Specialists Thornton Le Moors
Every property contains loadbearing walls, sometimes positioned to carry loads from upper storeys, and sometimes to distribute loads throughout an existing space across extended spans.
One of the most critical considerations before commencing any internal refurbishment within your property is to establish which walls are loadbearing walls and which serve no structural purpose.
If you are remodelling the interior of your home and seeking a more open plan layout, the likelihood is you will be taking out a supporting wall, and should this be the case, it will necessitate reinforcement through 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 eliminating a structural wall and transferring its load onto a steel beam. The work encompasses the structural engineer’s calculations and building control approval, temporary support (Acrows and Strongboys) whilst the wall is taken out, installing the steel onto padstones, building in the beam, and making good walls, floors and ceilings.
Also employed to create large openings for extensions, knock throughs and wide bi fold or sliding door openings.
