Structural alterations in Kent

Knocking through to open a kitchen-diner, removing a chimney breast, opening a wall for bifolds — structural alterations are everyday work across Kent's mix of period and inter-war housing stock. We handle engineer's calcs, temporary propping, steel beam installation, building control sign-off and full making-good in one fixed quote.

Common Kent jobs: removing the dividing wall between front room and dining room in Edwardian terraces, opening a chimney breast in 1930s semis, creating a knock-through to a rear extension. Each gets its own pad-stone, beam spec and fire-protection detail signed off by an engineer we work with regularly.

Most structural alterations in Kent take 5–10 working days on site once the engineer's drawings are issued.
