Load Bearing Wall Specialists Frodsham
Every property contains load bearing walls, sometimes positioned to carry loads from the floors above, and sometimes to distribute loads across an existing area over greater spans.
One of the most critical steps before commencing any interior renovation within your property is to establish which walls are load bearing and which are not.
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 need reinforcement with a new load bearing RSJ beam.
Steel beam (RSJ) installation and load bearing wall removal create additional internal space, for instance, opening up the layout 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 used to form large openings for extensions, knock throughs and wide bi fold or sliding door openings.
