Structural Alterations in Ashton-on-Ribble

Opening up the ground floor of an Ashton-on-Ribble terrace is popular, turning poky front and back rooms into one bright space. We handle structural alterations properly, installing steel beams, forming new openings and working alongside engineers where needed. Older solid walls demand respect, so we prop, support and build with care, keeping the house sound while creating the open plan layout owners are after.
