Loft conversion structural engineer

Based in Nottingham, the team here at IKT Consulting is a trusted name in structural engineering. We work closely with homeowners, architects and developers to make sure your loft is not only beautifully designed but also structurally sound.

With years of experience and a deep understanding of the necessary building regulations, we’re here to make your loft conversion safe and compliant.

Do you need a structural engineer for a loft conversion?

Yes, you always need a structural engineer for any loft conversion.

While it may seem like a straightforward project, converting a loft involves altering the existing structure of your home. Without proper calculations and design, these changes could compromise the safety and stability of your property. Building regulations require input from a professional structural engineer, and your builder will not be able to legally begin work without the go-ahead from these people.

A structural engineer ensures your new loft space complies with all building regulations and is safe for years to come. From checking the load-bearing capacity to designing new supporting elements like beams and joists, we make sure everything is done with precision and care.

What does a loft conversion structural engineer do?

At IKT Consulting, we offer a comprehensive range of structural engineering services specifically tailored to loft conversions:

Structural engineer reports: We carry out thorough site assessments to determine the feasibility of your loft conversion. The detailed report will outline any structural limitations and advise on the best approach for your property.
Structural calculations: Our engineers will produce detailed calculations to ensure your loft can safely carry the new loads imposed by any floors, walls and furniture. These calculations are part of building regulation approval and will provide your contractor with vital information.
Structural drawings: We prepare accurate and detailed technical drawings that show how new structural elements will be integrated into your property. These drawings guide your builder and are essential for planning and regulatory compliance.
Structural design: Our expert team can design all critical components of your loft conversion, including beam sizes, column placements and much more. All our solutions are practical and tailored to the specific needs of your property and the vision you have for your new loft conversion.

Whether you’re in the early stages of planning or ready to start building, IKT Consulting is here to provide the structural expertise you need. We work with homeowners, landlords, architects, fabricators, contractors and developers, ensuring your next loft conversion is safe. Contact us today for a free consultation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel came to visit our property due to some internal cracking we had noted. He was polite, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. A full report was recieved less than 10 days after the initial visit with detailed recommendations to ensure any issues are rectified. I would 100 percent recommend and look forward to working with Daniel again when we build our extension 😀  Many thanks!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I required a company to carry out structural surveys on a customer's external fire escapes. I contacted IKT Consulting LTD  to carry out the surveys on my behalf. I found IKT Consulting Ltd to be very professional with an outstanding attitude towards customer service. The reports were very thorough and I would have no hesitation in using IKT Consulting LTD for future projects.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently purchased our house in Derby and required a steel beam calculation in January 24. During his visit to our house, he gave great alternative options for our kitchen/dining room design which resulted in us being able to maximise our space and natural light. Daniel Ikotun at IKT was extremely helpful, accommodating, professional and provided a very fast turnaround. Very good value and expert advice. Thanks again Daniel, would recommend your services to anyone looking for structural engineering support.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are in the process of buying a house and had several structural issues flagged on the home buyers survey and was advised to have specific structural survey undertaken. I came across IKT Consulting online and decided to instruct them to undertake the survey. The engineer, Daniel, kindly offered to chat things through with me before the survey, gave me a call after the survey to give me the results, issued the report promptly, and then agreed to chat through the report with me after I'd had time to digest it. His explanations were super clear, jargon free, and really put my mind at ease about the necessary works. I really can't fault IKT Consulting - so glad I found them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased a house and decided to remove x2 chimney breasts in upstairs bedroom and downstairs kitchen diner.   The builder went into the loft to inspect and discovered it was not safe to remove the chimney breast.  The builder suggested getting a structural engineer to have a look and this is where IKT consulting was recommended to me. The company sent the relevant information and specifications to the builders to proceed with the work.  The structural engineer also sent me the same information on what was to be done and explained the reasons why. This being my first home, I felt reassured as the engineer and I discussed the work in the loft. He was clear, concise and his knowledge was truly informative giving me great confidence in the company. Throughout the job, the engineer was consistent keeping on top of what was going on and liaised with the builders as well as myself.  As an outcome, I received a completion document from the company.  I was amazed from start to finish with how efficient, precise and organised the structural engineer was especially his communication between myself and builder.  I would highly recommend IKT and will use again myself if needed. Thank you IKT Consulting!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I asked Daniel to assess the structural safety of a previous internal wall removal after cracks appeared in the wall on the floor above it. Before he came he gave clear advice about what areas needed to be exposed in order to be able to carry out his assessment and while he was carrying out his assessment he even gave me some advice about other structural issues around my home. He was friendly and professional throughout and I was really struck by how much he cared about the safety of the homes of those he visits. He prepared the report very quickly after the assessment (even though it was over the Christmas holidays) and when I had follow up questions he gave prompt and clear responses. I have been so impressed with his work ethic and his knowledge and intend to ask him back to sign off the work once it has been completed.
