Every loft conversion needs structural steel. Our combined expertise in steelwork and loft conversions means your project is in one pair of trusted hands.

Structural steel beams are a fundamental component of virtually every loft conversion. They support the new floor structure, carry the loads imposed by the altered roof, and ensure the conversion meets Building Regulations for structural safety.

Common applications for steel in loft conversions include ridge beams to support the modified roof structure, floor beams to create a structurally sound new floor over the rooms below, purlins to support new roof configurations in dormer and mansard conversions, and lintels above new window and door openings.

Because Designed to Build specialises in both loft conversions and steel beam installations, we manage the structural steelwork as an integrated part of your loft conversion project. This means fewer contractors, better coordination, faster build times, and lower costs compared to hiring separate teams for the steelwork and the conversion.
