Steel beam work in the East Riding of Yorkshire
From survey to sign-off, we install steel beams throughout the East Riding of Yorkshire. We work in Beverley, Goole and Bridlington and the surrounding villages. The engineer sizes the steel from your survey, we deal with building control, and our team fits, packs and fire protects it before plastering.
Approval in the East Riding of Yorkshire is through council building control or a registered building control approver, and party wall notices apply where steel bears into a shared wall.

Building rules in the East Riding of Yorkshire
In England, taking out a load-bearing wall or putting in a beam is building work under the Building Regulations 2010. It needs approval from building control, either the local council's building control team or a registered building control approver, through a full plans application or a building notice. Part A covers the structure and Part B covers fire safety, which is why steel in homes is usually fire protected.
Terraced and semi-detached homes often need party wall notices, because cutting into a shared wall to take a beam end is notifiable under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Allow at least two months for the notice period unless your neighbour agrees sooner.

Steel beams in the East Riding of Yorkshire: questions
What happens at the survey visit in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
We look at the wall, the floor and ceiling either side and what sits above, measure the opening you want, and note cables, pipes and access for the steel. It usually takes under an hour and there is no charge.
Do you cover the East Riding of Yorkshire for steel beam installation?
Yes. We carry out steel beam installation in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Book a free survey visit and we will check the wall, arrange the engineer's calculations and send an itemised written quote.
Can I stay at home while the work is done in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
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.
Can you work on older or listed homes in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
Yes. Older homes often have lime mortar, timber lintels or shallow footings, which the engineer allows for. Listed buildings need listed building consent for internal structural changes as well as building regulations approval, and that must be in place first.
Do I need a party wall agreement for steel beam installation in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
Yes, if the beam bears into a shared wall: the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in England and Wales, and a party structure notice must be served at least two months before that work starts. We arrange it through a party wall surveyor.
