Removing walls
Steel beam calculations and design for knocking through, so you can open up a room safely.
Structural engineering
Graham Daines Structural Engineering
Many of the homes I work on involve more than paint and furniture: knocking two rooms into one, opening up a kitchen, adding an extension or converting a loft.
For these projects I work with my father, Graham Daines, a structural engineer based in Ascot with over 50 years' experience. His career includes senior engineering roles at WSP and Laing O'Rourke and on the Thames Tideway Tunnel, and he now helps homeowners as well as contractors and developers.
Bringing him in early means the design and the structure are planned together, so the room you've imagined is one that can actually be built.
