Steel beam work in Wiltshire
From survey to sign-off, we install steel beams throughout Wiltshire. We work in Trowbridge, Swindon and Chippenham 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 Wiltshire 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 Wiltshire
Structural openings in English homes need building regulations approval before work starts. The local council's building control team can deal with it, or you can use a registered building control approver. Either way the steel is inspected before it is covered, and a completion certificate is issued at the end. Keep it safe for when you sell.
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.
