Structural engineers in the North West

The North West spans Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cumbria. Its building stock ranges from dense Victorian brick terraces and mill and dock housing across Manchester, Salford, Liverpool, Bolton and Preston, through inter-war and post-war suburban estates, to stone farmhouses and cottages in the Lake District and the Pennine fringe. A large stock of former mills, warehouses and industrial buildings across the conurbations is now being converted, alongside steady domestic extension, loft and conversion work, and each type carries load in its own way. A cast-iron or steel mill frame, a solid-brick terrace and a modern cavity house each call for a different approach to any alteration.

We provide the full structural remit for North West projects: Eurocode calculations and drawings for extensions, loft conversions, wall removals and new openings, structural surveys and defect reports, and design for new build, developer and commercial work. Desktop calculations and reports are delivered anywhere in the region, and where a survey or inspection is needed we arrange attendance across the North West, from the city cores out to the Lakes and the coast.

Most structural work is done from your drawings, photographs and survey information, so we turn desktop calculations and reports around quickly for clients across the region. We coordinate with your architect, builder and the local authority Building Control team or an approved inspector so the structure and the design agree before work is priced on site.

Where a physical inspection is needed, for a survey, a movement assessment or a check of existing structure, we arrange a visit across the North West. Every output is tied to the Eurocodes and Approved Document A and backed by professional indemnity cover, and the same standards let us support clients across the UK.
