At Steadfast SES, we provide structural engineering services throughout Chigwell and the surrounding Essex areas, supporting homeowners, builders, architects and property professionals with clear technical advice and practical structural solutions.
Our structural engineers chigwell handle projects ranging from individual wall removals and steel beam installations through to house extensions, loft conversions, new build homes and more complex property alterations. We work with the wider project team where required to ensure structural requirements are properly understood before work begins.
Whether you need structural design and calculations for an extension, an RSJ specification for an open-plan alteration or a structural survey to investigate an existing property, our services are tailored to the requirements of your building and project.

- Structural design and calculations
- Structural engineering
- RSJ and steel beam specifications
- Load-bearing wall removal

Our aim is to provide clear, accurate technical information that allows structural work to be properly planned before construction starts.
Structural Design & Calculations
When a property is extended, converted or structurally altered, calculations are often required to establish how loads will be supported safely. Our structural engineers prepare project-specific calculations and designs based on the existing building and proposed alterations.
We regularly provide structural calculations for:
- House extensions
- Rear and side extensions
- Double-storey extensions
- Loft conversions
- Garage conversions
- Load-bearing wall removals
- RSJ installations
- Structural openings
- New build homes
- Foundation requirements
Our calculations provide builders with clear information about the structural requirements of the proposed work and can support the documentation needed for Building Control.
For larger projects, structural design can also be integrated into wider property renovation, refurbishment, extension or new build plans.
Structural Engineers for Extensions & Conversions
House extensions and property conversions can involve significant changes to the existing structure. Professional structural design helps ensure the new work is safely integrated with the original building.
We provide structural engineering support for:
- Rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Double-storey extensions
- Loft conversions
- Garage conversions
- Basement conversions
- Open-plan alterations
- New build homes
We assess the existing structure and proposed changes before developing practical structural solutions for the project.
This makes our services suitable for homeowners in Chigwell undertaking anything from a kitchen extension or loft conversion to a larger property transformation.
Structural Surveys
Existing properties can develop signs of structural movement or deterioration over time. Cracks, changes in levels or other defects may require professional assessment before further building work is considered.
Our structural survey and assessment services can help clients understand potential structural concerns and identify appropriate next steps.
We provide support for:
- Crack investigations
- Structural movement assessments
- Property condition assessments
- Subsidence-related concerns
- Structural alterations
- Older and period properties
- Pre-construction assessments
If your project also requires broader property planning or development advice, our Property Consultancy service can provide additional support alongside structural engineering.
RSJ & Steel Beam Design
Removing a load-bearing wall or forming a substantial opening can require an RSJ or other structural steel beam to support the loads above.
Our structural engineers provide calculations and steel beam specifications based on the requirements of the individual project. We consider the existing structure, proposed opening and supporting arrangements when developing the structural solution.
Where appropriate, Steadfast SES can also complete the associated construction work, including temporary support, load-bearing wall removal, padstone installation and RSJ installation.
This provides the option of coordinating structural engineering and building work through one experienced team.
