Recent project in Gants Hill
On a recent Gants Hill project just off Eastern Avenue, a homeowner wanted to remove the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room of a 1930s semi. We sized the steel beam, specified padstones onto the existing brickwork piers and detailed the temporary works the builder needed before opening up. Building Control accepted the package without follow-up queries.

Structural Engineer FAQs — Gants Hill
Do you work on the 1930s semis common around Gants Hill?
Yes — the housing stock around Gants Hill, Eastern Avenue and Beehive Lane is largely 1930s semi-detached homes. We design wall removals, chimney breast removals, loft conversions and rear extensions for this house type every week.
Which Building Control body covers Gants Hill?
Gants Hill is in the London Borough of Redbridge, so most projects are submitted to Redbridge Building Control. We can prepare the drawings and calculations to suit either Local Authority or Approved Inspector route — let us know which your builder prefers.
Can you visit a property in Gants Hill quickly?
Our office is in Cranbrook, about 10 minutes' drive from Gants Hill, so we can usually offer a site visit within a few working days. Call +44 7401 650 600 to check the next available slot.
Is parking and access usually an issue for site visits in Gants Hill?
Most Gants Hill streets have on-street parking, and we travel with handheld measuring kit so visits are quick and unobtrusive. Where access is tight or the property is in a CPZ, let us know in advance.
