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 North Lanarkshire 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 Viewpark
Scottish rules are stricter on timing than in England: the building warrant must be in place before the wall is touched. We prepare the application with the engineer's calculations and submit it to North Lanarkshire Council. The finished work is then certified and a completion certificate submitted for acceptance.
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 Viewpark: questions
Do you also work near Viewpark?
Yes. We also cover nearby towns including Bellshill, Blantyre, Coatbridge and High Blantyre.
What happens at the survey visit in Viewpark?
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 Viewpark for steel beam installation?
Yes. We carry out steel beam installation in Viewpark and the G71 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 Viewpark?
Structural work in Viewpark needs a building warrant from North Lanarkshire Council, granted before work starts. We prepare and submit it with the structural engineer's calculations and arrange the inspections, so the completion paperwork follows the job.
Can I stay at home while the work is done in Viewpark?
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.
