What happens, step by step
Look and measure
We check the wall, the span you want and what the wall is carrying, and photograph anything the engineer needs to see.
Design and price
Calculations come back from the engineer and we confirm your fixed written price, line by line.
Building warrant
A building warrant is applied for from Angus Council, and work starts only once the warrant has been granted.
Fit, inspect, finish
The work is propped and the steel installed and packed tight. After inspection the opening is boxed, plastered and left clean.

Building rules in Brechin
Steel beam work in Brechin needs a building warrant from Angus Council. The structural design is part of the application, and the council's building standards team accepts the completion certificate once the work is done as approved.
There is no party wall notice system in Scotland. Instead, check your title deeds and, for flats, the tenement management scheme, and talk to neighbours early if the beam bears into a shared wall.

Steel beams in Brechin: questions
How soon can steel beam installation start in Brechin?
Start dates depend on the engineer's calculations, the building warrant and any agreement needed with neighbours. We give you a realistic timetable after the survey and keep you updated as each approval comes through.
Can I stay at home while the work is done in Brechin?
Usually, yes. The work area is screened and floors are protected. The rooms either side of the opening are out of action for a few days, and there is some noise and dust while the masonry comes out.
Do you cover Brechin for steel beam installation?
Yes. We carry out steel beam installation in Brechin and the DD9 postcode districts. Book a free survey visit and we will check the wall, arrange the engineer's calculations and send an itemised written quote.
Who approves steel beam installation in Brechin?
