Whole-house structural package in a period property
Several steel beams through one renovation, including twin steels tucked beneath an ornate period ceiling — cornice untouched.
A period renovation often needs more than one beam, and the challenge is doing it without losing the character of the house. We installed a full structural package — several steels through the property — including twin beams tucked up beneath an ornate ceiling so the cornice and plasterwork were left completely undisturbed.
What the job involved
- Multiple steel beams installed across a full renovation
- Twin steels fitted tight beneath an original period ceiling
- Bolted end-plate connections where one beam carries another
- Original features protected and left intact throughout
