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?

    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.    
    • Real Life was released in 1978. Yes it is a classic album.
    • Another recommendation for Nick. Copying below the review I have just left for him on Google: We don’t usually leave reviews for people online but are making an exception for Nick. He made fitted wardrobes for our loft conversion and did an absolutely fantastic job. The wardrobes are beautiful. Nick is passionate about producing a quality product, and also one that is bespoke to his clients’ needs. He guided us through the design to establish how we would actually use the space and built something that is fantastic. From start to finish the process was quick and each day he and his assistant Sean left the space tidy. I’m not sure we are easy people to please so the fact we are leaving a 5* review (indeed leaving a review at all) speaks volumes about what a great job Nick (and Sean) did. Nick also built a cupboard for our downstairs bathroom as part of the job and again it is brilliant. We would recommend them to anybody. 
    • Just had a flatpack IKEA wardrobe put together by the dynamic Father & Son team (Victor & Carl) and over the years they have come to the rescue with their quality workmanship and all round great people to work with. https://www.handymaneastdulwich.co.uk Thank you once again.
