Structural Alterations in Broughton

Opening up a Broughton home to create flowing space needs proper structural know how. We remove load bearing walls, fit steel beams and form new openings safely, working alongside a structural engineer where the design requires it. Older village properties can throw up surprises once walls come down, so we work methodically, prop and support correctly, and make sure everything is sound before we finish.

Building work in Broughton

Broughton has a real mix of homes, from older brick cottages and traditional semis near the main routes through to newer estate housing built as the village grew. Plenty of larger detached and rural properties sit along the surrounding lanes towards Barton and Woodplumpton. Common work here includes extending family homes for more space, updating tired interiors, and looking after the fabric of older buildings that need sympathetic, well judged repairs.

Common questions

Structural Alterations in Broughton, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

Can you remove a load bearing wall in Broughton?

Yes. Removing a load bearing wall and installing a steel beam or RSJ is common work in Broughton, done with proper temporary support, bearings to the engineer's design, and careful making good around the new opening.

How is building control handled for structural work in Broughton?

Structural alterations in Broughton normally need building regulations approval. The work is coordinated with the structural engineer's details and building control inspections at the right stages.

Do you work in the villages around Broughton as well?

Yes. As well as Broughton itself we regularly work in the surrounding area including Barton, Woodplumpton, Catforth, Goosnargh, Whittingham and Inglewhite. Being based locally, these villages and the lanes between them are easy for us to reach, so we can get to site quickly and keep an eye on jobs throughout.

Can you work on older cottages and period homes in Broughton?

We do plenty of work on older and traditional properties around Broughton. These homes need a careful approach with the right materials and methods, especially for damp, pointing and timber. We repair and extend them sympathetically so improvements sit comfortably with the original building rather than looking out of place.

Are you happy to take on both new estate homes and rural properties?

Absolutely. Broughton has newer estate housing as well as detached and rural homes along the country lanes, and we work on both. From straightforward extensions on modern houses to more involved projects on older rural properties, we tailor how we work to suit the building and its setting.
