Structural Alterations in Fulwood

Opening up the older Fulwood semis and detached homes often means removing a wall or two to create modern open plan living. We handle structural alterations safely, installing steel beams, forming new openings and supporting the building correctly. We work alongside structural engineers and building control, so the paperwork is right and the finished space is sound as well as bright and open.

Building work in Fulwood

Fulwood is one of the larger suburbs on the north side of Preston, so the housing is a real mix. You will find inter war semis and post war family homes on the established roads, along with newer estates and a scatter of older detached properties nearer Sharoe Green, Cadley and the greener edges by Haighton. Extensions, loft and garage work, and updating tired but solid homes are common requests here.

Common questions

Structural Alterations in Fulwood, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

Can you remove a load bearing wall in Fulwood?

Yes. Removing a load bearing wall and installing a steel beam or RSJ is common work in Fulwood, 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 Fulwood?

Structural alterations in Fulwood 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 cover the villages and areas around Fulwood as well?

Yes. Alongside Fulwood itself we regularly work in Haighton, Sharoe Green, Grimsargh, Cadley, Whitechapel and Greyfriars. Being based just up the road in Broughton, these are all easy runs for us, so you get a genuinely local builder rather than a firm travelling in from miles away.

Can you work on the older houses in Fulwood?

Definitely. Much of Fulwood is inter war and post war housing, and we are used to their brickwork, layouts and quirks. We match materials carefully, respect the character of the property, and update it sensibly, whether that is a full renovation or a single careful repair to keep the home solid.

Are you familiar with the newer estates in Fulwood too?

Yes. As well as the established streets, Fulwood has plenty of newer estate housing, and we work on those regularly. Extensions, garage conversions and internal alterations all suit these homes well. We know how they are built, so we can plan changes that add space and value while keeping everything neat and in keeping.
