From survey to sign-off in High Blantyre
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 South 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 High Blantyre
Steel beam work in High Blantyre needs a building warrant from South Lanarkshire 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.
