Steel beam installation & wall removal in Blackpool & the Fylde
Blackpool's tall Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them former guest houses, are full of structural work: guest-house layouts opened back into family homes, new openings in party walls, and chimney breasts out over several floors.
We also cover Lytham St Annes, Poulton-le-Fylde, Thornton-Cleveleys and Fleetwood, where the larger detached houses bring wide rear openings and extensions.
