Steel beam installation & wall removal in Formby & Crosby
Formby, Crosby and Ainsdale are mostly 1930s and post-war detached houses, semis and bungalows, and the classic job is a wide rear opening onto a new extension or garden room, often with a goalpost frame for big sliding doors.
We work across Formby, Crosby, Blundellsands, Ainsdale and Maghull, including bungalow loft conversions where the steel goes in before the dormer.
Formby and Crosby fall under Sefton Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
