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 control
A full plans application or building notice goes to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 before work begins.

The work is propped and the steel installed and packed tight. After inspection the opening is boxed, plastered and left clean.

Building rules in Enniskillen
Building control in Enniskillen is run by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council. Beams and new openings are controlled work under the Northern Ireland regulations, so we apply before anything is removed and the steel is inspected before it is covered.

Steel beams in Enniskillen: questions
How much does steel beam installation cost in Enniskillen?
As a guide, budget £1,700–£4,300 including VAT for load-bearing wall removal with steel beam in Enniskillen, based on published UK cost guides adjusted for prices in Northern Ireland (-14%). The exact figure depends on the span, what the wall carries, access and the finish, and is fixed in writing once the scope is agreed.
Can I stay at home while the work is done in Enniskillen?
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 I need a party wall agreement for steel beam installation in Enniskillen?
There is no Party Wall Act in Northern Ireland. Your title deeds and the general law apply instead, so agree the work with your neighbour in writing before it starts.
Can you work on older or listed homes in Enniskillen?
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 you also work near Enniskillen?
Yes. We also cover nearby towns including Omagh.
