Earlier alterations and the structure below
Look for records of previous openings, hidden steel and extensions. A new beam or column can change where loads enter the construction below, so photographs of the room are only part of the picture. Keep uncertain details clearly marked for the engineer to investigate.
What to send with your enquiry
- Your address, postcode, property type and floor, with a sketch showing the desired opening.
- Available building drawings, earlier calculations and photographs from both sides of the wall. Mark uncertain details rather than guessing.
- Your preferred timing and finish, including any related kitchen, flooring or service work.
