What happens, step by step
Free visit
A short visit to Stockton-on-Tees to see the job, agree what you want and check the bearings, floors and services that affect the design.
Calculations
The engineer's calculations and a simple drawing are prepared for your opening and shared with you before anything is ordered.
Building control
We submit a building notice or full plans application to Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, so approval is in place before the wall is touched.

Building rules in Stockton-on-Tees
For Stockton-on-Tees, building control is provided by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, or by a registered building control approver if preferred. We send them the engineer's calculations with a building notice or full plans application and book the inspections. Work done without approval can cause problems at sale and is far dearer to put right later.
If the beam bears into a wall you share with a neighbour, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies, and a party structure notice must be served at least two months before that work starts. We arrange this through a party wall surveyor.
