Recent project in Tilbury
On a recent Tilbury project off Brunel Close, we supported a homeowner with a rear extension and an open-plan kitchen-diner on a 1960s semi (RM18). The work involved sizing the steel beam over the new wider opening, designing padstones onto the existing masonry, and issuing the calculations and drawings the builder used for the Thurrock Building Control submission.

Structural Engineer FAQs — Tilbury
Where is your Tilbury office?
Our Tilbury office is on Brunel Close, Tilbury RM18 8EJ — close to Tilbury Town centre, the Riverside area and the routes out to Grays and Chafford Hundred. We use it as the base for site visits across Thurrock, Grays, Purfleet-on-Thames, South Ockendon and Stanford-le-Hope.
Do you cover the whole of Thurrock from your Tilbury office?
Yes. Tilbury is a short drive from Grays, Chadwell St Mary, Chafford Hundred, South Ockendon, Stanford-le-Hope and Purfleet-on-Thames, so we routinely cover the whole Thurrock area for structural calculations, drawings, surveys and Building Control support.
Which Building Control body handles work in Tilbury?
Tilbury is in Thurrock Council, so submissions normally go to Thurrock Building Control. We prepare structural calculations and drawings in the format Thurrock expect, and we can respond directly to any plan-check or on-site queries the inspector raises.
Are most homes in Tilbury similar in construction?
Tilbury has a strong mix of 1930s–1960s semi-detached homes, post-war terraces, and more recent estates around Chadwell St Mary and Chafford Hundred. We work across all of these regularly — beam sizes, padstones and foundation details are well understood for each typical house type.
Can you visit a property in Tilbury quickly?
Yes — with the Brunel Close office nearby we can usually offer a Tilbury site visit within a few working days. Call +44 7401 650 600 to check the next available slot.
