Steel beam installation & wall removal in Chester
Chester's housing runs from Georgian townhouses inside the walls to Victorian terraces in Hoole and Handbridge and modern estates at Huntington and Upton — each with its own structural quirks, from listed-building consent to solid nine-inch walls.
We work across Chester, Hoole, Handbridge, Christleton, Tarporley and out to the Welsh border.
Chester structural work is inspected by Cheshire West and Chester building control; listed buildings inside the walls also need listed building consent.
