Load Bearing Wall Specialists Mickle Trafford
Every property contains load bearing walls, sometimes positioned to carry loads from upper floors, and sometimes to distribute loads across an existing area over extended spans.
One of the most crucial steps before beginning any internal remodelling work is to establish which walls are load bearing and which are not.
If you are remodelling the interior of your home and seeking a more open plan layout, you will likely need to remove a supporting wall, which will require reinforcement with a new load bearing RSJ beam.
Steel beam (RSJ) installation and load bearing wall removal create additional internal space, for instance, opening up a ground floor layout by removing a structural wall and transferring its load onto a steel beam. The work includes the structural engineer’s calculations and building control approval, temporary support (Acrows and Strongboys) whilst the wall is removed, installing the steel onto padstones, building in the beam, and making good walls, floors and ceilings.
Also used to create large openings for extensions, knock throughs and wide bi fold or sliding door openings.
