Professional Structural Engineers Serving Hockley
Structural alterations require careful consideration of the existing building and the loads created by any proposed changes. Professional structural design and calculations can help establish the appropriate solution before construction begins.
At Steadfast SES, we provide structural engineers Hockley supporting projects ranging from straightforward internal alterations to extensions, loft conversions, property renovations and new build developments.
Our team works with clients and construction professionals to provide practical engineering solutions and clear technical information that can be incorporated into the wider building project.
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 engineering support tailored to the requirements of the project.

Structural Design & Calculations
When a property is extended, converted or structurally altered, calculations may be required to determine how the building will safely carry the relevant loads.
We prepare structural designs and calculations based on the existing construction, proposed alterations and requirements of the individual project.
Our structural calculations commonly cover:
- 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 calculations and appropriately specified structural elements can help builders understand the intended solution and provide the technical information required for Building Control consideration where applicable.
Structural Engineers for Extensions & Conversions
Structural engineering is an important part of many extension and conversion projects, particularly where new structures need to connect safely with an existing property.
Our structural engineers Hockley provide 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 structure, proposed layout and loading requirements when developing a suitable structural solution for the project.
Structural Surveys & Assessments
Structural concerns within an existing property can arise for a number of reasons, including movement, cracking, deterioration or changes made to the building over time.
Our structural surveys and assessments can help investigate potential issues and establish whether further structural advice or remedial work 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 property and the circumstances being investigated.
For clients considering wider property improvements, development or renovation work, our Property Consultancy service can provide additional advice on planning, feasibility and project requirements.
RSJ & Steel Beam Design
Removing a load-bearing wall or creating a large opening can significantly alter the way forces are transferred through a property. A suitable structural steel beam may therefore be required.
Steadfast SES provides structural calculations and steel beam specifications for appropriate RSJ and structural-opening projects.
Where required, we can also undertake the associated construction work, including temporary support, load-bearing wall removal, padstone installation and RSJ fitting.
This gives clients the opportunity to coordinate the structural engineering and associated building work through one experienced team.
