Structural engineer recommendations

We used Mark at Torcal as recommended via this forum but we wouldn't recommend. When things went wrong with our builders and we needed him to come urgently to assess our site he wasn't interested and said he couldn't attend for 2 weeks. We were in a dire situation and he completely let us down. We ended up getting a new structural engineer to come in which cost us again.

I am at the planning stage of an extension project and a structural engineer is someone who I need to talk to.


To manage costs I am having to consider management of the project myself, so I am currently in the process of getting approximate quotes from all trades. Once I have all the quotes, and an approximate total, I will be able to decide whether or not to commit to the formal architectural/structural drawing, planning application etc.


Would be great to have a chat about your services and my plans.


FYI:

My plans are to have an L-shaped extension to a garden floor in a victorian house converted into two flats.


I have my initial draft plans (accessible online) which I've been using to talk as accurately as possible with other trades.


How best should we get in contact from here?

    • I wanted to provide a strong recommendation for Nick Minnes and his team. I came across Nick when someone on our street was moving out shortly after we moved in and posted on our street whatsapp group with their top ten best trades people in which Nick was listed as a handyman+. We had just moved into a house that had been lived in for 40 years by a couple in their late 80s so there was a lot of work to do! Over the last 5 years, we have used Nick on multiple occasions. The definition of handymen+ does not do Nick and his team justice as they do so much more than this. The work they have done includes: A complete new bathroom refurbishment (including re-building a new wall) Completely refurbishing a sitting room (including inserting sound insultation and bespoke cabinetary) Bespoke under stairs storage (after a number of other trades people said it was too difficult) Preparing the house for plastering (removing old wallpaper, filling in cracks) Outside restoration of bricks and cornice Fixing floorboards down Nick is not your normal handymen. He is extremely creative and also great with thinking through colour schemes. I wouldn't hesitate to use Nick and his team again. Everything that they have done for me has been of the highest quality. They are trustworthy, tidy, reliable and honest. I already have a list of other jobs to get them back in for. I would very happily provide a reference for Nick - just like the people did who were leaving our road.  Nick can be contacted on: 07866 267 581. Thanks, Andy
