Steel Beam Installation and Structural Design
Structural Steelwork and Calculations in Liverpool
Structural alterations often require more than simply installing a steel beam. The loads being supported, the size and specification of the steelwork, its bearings and the surrounding structure all need to be properly considered before work begins.
Roofer & Builder provides structural steelwork and associated structural calculation services across Liverpool, Merseyside, Wirral and surrounding areas.
From removing load-bearing walls and creating larger openings to installing steel beams for extensions, loft conversions and property alterations, we can coordinate the structural requirements and complete the associated building work.
From Structural Calculations to Steel Installation
Creating a larger opening or altering a load-bearing part of a building requires careful planning.
The existing structure must first be considered to establish what is being supported and how those loads will be transferred once the alteration is made. Structural calculations can then be prepared to determine the appropriate beam, column or supporting arrangement for the proposed work.
Once the design requirements have been established, our team can undertake the associated building work and install the specified structural steelwork.
This provides a coordinated approach for homeowners and property owners who need both the structural design requirements and the practical construction work completed.

Our Steelwork Services
Structural Calculations
We can coordinate the structural calculations required for building alterations, including steel beams & supporting structures. The calculations provide the structural specification required.
Steel Beam Installation
We install structural steel beams in accordance with the approved design and specification, including suitable bearings, secure positioning, connection details and all building work required for a safe and compliant installation.
Load-Bearing Wall Removal
Removing all or part of a load-bearing wall can create larger internal spaces. The existing loads must be properly supported before and during the alteration, with the permanent structural support installed to the required design.
New and Enlarged Openings
We undertake structural work to form or enlarge suitable openings for open-plan layouts, doors, bi-fold doors and other property alterations. Discuss your project with us to see how we can help.
Steelwork for Extensions
Extensions and loft conversions can require structural steelwork to support new floors, roofs and altered sections of the building. We coordinate the steel installation as part of the building project.
Structural Alterations
Where structural steelwork forms part of a larger project, we can complete the associated masonry, alterations and building work required around the new structure.
How We Approach Structural Steelwork

We discuss the work you want to complete and consider the existing building, proposed opening and structural elements that may be affected.
2. Structural Requirements
Where calculations and structural design are required, these are prepared so that the steelwork and supporting details can be specified.
3. Provide a Clear Quotation
We provide a quotation based on the agreed structural work, steel installation and associated building elements included within the building project.
4. Complete the Structural Work
Our team carries out the agreed alterations and installs the specified structural steelwork in accordance with the project requirements.
