Our team of structural engineers Chalkwell combines structural engineering knowledge with practical construction experience, allowing us to develop solutions that take both the technical requirements and the realities of construction into account.
Whether you need structural design and calculations for an extension, an RSJ specification for removing a load-bearing wall or a structural survey to investigate an existing property, we provide professional engineering support tailored to your project.

Structural Design & Calculations
Structural calculations are an important part of many building alterations, particularly where walls are removed, new openings are formed or additional floors and extensions are introduced.
We prepare structural designs and calculations based on the existing property, proposed alterations and loading requirements of each individual project.
We regularly provide structural calculations for:
- House extensions
- Rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Single-storey extensions
- Double-storey extensions
- Loft conversions
- Garage conversions
- Load-bearing wall removals
- RSJ installations
- Structural openings
- New build projects
- Foundation requirements
Clear structural calculations give builders a defined engineering solution to work from and provide supporting technical information for Building Control consideration where applicable.
Structural Engineers for Extensions & Conversions
Extensions and conversions can involve significant changes to an existing property's structure. Our structural engineers Chalkwell help determine how proposed new work can be safely supported and connected to the original building.
We provide structural engineering support for:
- Rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Single-storey extensions
- Double-storey extensions
- Loft conversions
- Garage conversions
- Basement conversions
- Open-plan alterations
- New build homes
We consider the existing construction, proposed layout and loading requirements when developing a practical structural solution.
Structural Surveys & Assessments
Existing properties may require structural investigation where there are signs of cracking, movement, deterioration or other potential problems.
Our structural surveys and assessments can help establish the condition of relevant structural elements and determine whether further investigation or remedial action may be appropriate.
Our services can support:
- Crack investigations
- Structural movement assessments
- Property condition assessments
- Subsidence-related concerns
- Older and period properties
- Proposed structural alterations
- Pre-construction assessments
We provide practical structural advice based on the individual property and the issue being investigated.
For clients considering a wider renovation, development or property improvement, our Property Consultancy service can provide additional support with project feasibility and planning before building work starts.
RSJ & Steel Beam Design
Removing a load-bearing wall can create a more open and practical layout, but the loads carried by the original wall need to be safely transferred to an appropriate structural element.
Steadfast SES provides structural calculations and steel beam specifications for suitable RSJ installations and structural openings.
Where required, our construction team can also complete the associated works, including temporary support, load-bearing wall removal, padstone installation and RSJ fitting.
This gives clients the option of coordinating the structural engineering, calculations and construction work through one experienced team.
