Whether you are removing a load-bearing wall, underpinning a foundation, or need a temporary propping scheme before your builder lifts a single joist, the structural calculations must be right before any work begins.
I provide comprehensive UK structural calculations for steel beams including UC and UB sections, padstone and bearing design, foundation sizing, and temporary works propping schemes. Every calculation is formatted for building control submission and includes a plain-English landlord or freeholder assurance letter as standard, not as an upsell, because that combined deliverable is what most buyers actually need.

FAQ
What is temporary works propping and why is it needed?
Temporary works propping is the structural support system installed before a load-bearing wall or beam is removed. It carries the loads the wall was carrying during the structural alteration. Without a proper propping scheme, the structure above is at serious risk during the works.
What is the landlord assurance letter?
This is a plain-English letter addressed to a freeholder or landlord confirming that the proposed structural work is safe and will not adversely affect the structural integrity of the building. Most management companies and freeholders require this letter before granting consent for structural works
Do I need temporary works propping for every wall removal?
Yes. Any load-bearing wall removal requires a temporary propping scheme before the new beam is installed. The complexity of the scheme depends on what floor and roof loads are sitting above the wall
