Structural Alterations in Lancaster

Opening up rooms in older Lancaster homes calls for proper structural knowhow. We remove walls, install steel beams and form new openings, always with calculations signed off and building control involved. Period terraces and stone cottages need careful support, so we do nothing by guesswork. The result is a lighter, more open Lancaster home that stays completely sound and safe for years to come.

Building work in Lancaster

Lancaster has a real mix of housing. You will find handsome Victorian and Georgian terraces close to the centre, solid stone built cottages in the outlying villages, and plenty of post war and modern estates spreading toward Morecambe. Many older properties carry thick walls, sash windows and dated layouts. Newer homes often need reconfiguring for growing families. We work sympathetically with each type, matching materials and respecting the character that makes Lancaster homes what they are.
