Structural building work in London
Structural projects across all London boroughs. Old housing, close neighbours and deep foundations are typical here.
Excavation near neighbours
Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 you must tell neighbours about building work near or on a shared boundary in England and Wales. GOV.UK sets out the steps, which are separate from planning and building regulations. [1]
Victorian and Edwardian stock
65.1% of properties in Kensington and Chelsea, 56.0% in Hammersmith and Fulham and 54.3% in Haringey were built before 1919, according to VOA data for 2024. Underpinning and new beams in these homes need careful surveys. [2]
Additional storeys
More than one in ten London homes have been built since 2002, mostly flats, according to the GLA. [3]
Structural works across London
We take on major house construction in every London borough.
London’s mix of Victorian terraces, interwar semis and clay ground means structural work often involves shared walls and careful foundations, so each project is assessed on site.
Structural projects are assessed on site throughout London.
