Structural alterations in Holyhead

Covering Holyhead

We work in Holyhead (LL65) and the places around it, including Llangefni, Caernarfon and Bangor.

Homes in Gwynedd and Anglesey

Across Wales you find valley terraces, coastal towns, rural stone houses and newer estates, so access, slopes and local materials all feature in the design.

What does a structural alteration involve?

We arrange the structural calculations, support the floors and roof above with temporary props while the wall comes out, install the steel on padstones, then encase it for fire protection and make good. Chimney breast removals and new openings in external walls follow the same process.

Planning and building rules in Holyhead

In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.

Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission in Wales unless the building is listed.

What can change the price or programme?

Pipes and cables in the wall need rerouting first.
