David French Partnership LLP Small Works Department
Although David French Partnership LLP are often involved in multi-million-pound schemes, we are equally competitive on small projects. DFP have a Small Works Section who specialise on these jobs. They can do everything from a single beam design through to full engineering of substantial extensions. Some of the common areas where we can help you are:
Wall removal and extensions
Chimney breast removal
When you take out a chimney breast you normally need to install a beam to support the remaining flues.
Some builders suggest using Gallows Brackets but these are not acceptable nowadays. The problem with removing a chimney breast is it can leave the chimney balanced on a relatively thin wall. Although this is normally fine in normal conditions, in strong winds the projecting chimney can act as a sail and the chimney could blow over.
Loft Conversions
Conversions
Changing the use of a structure is often not as straightforward as you may think. We are experienced in adapting rooms for new uses and converting areas like garages into habitable rooms.
Aids and Adaptations
We are experienced in converting and adapting houses for people with a variety of disabilities, often working with your Occupational Therapists. Introducing lifts and hoists often cause structural problems and we are experienced in overcoming these issues. We can do everything for you from just sizing beams and structural elements through to full working schemes.
Party Wall Issues
Often the above works will involve Party Wall issues and we can provide all the assistance you need to comply with the Party Wall Act.
