Structural Engineer in Berkshire
Looking for a professional structural engineer in Berkshire?
Imperium Engineering provides structural engineering services for homeowners, architects, builders, developers and commercial clients across Berkshire.
Whether you are removing a load-bearing wall, installing a steel beam, planning an extension, converting a loft or investigating cracks and movement, we provide practical structural calculations, inspections and engineering design based on the existing property and proposed works.
We provide structural engineering support for residential and commercial projects, including:
- Structural calculations and design
- Steel beam and RSJ calculations
- Load-bearing wall assessments
- Load-bearing wall removal
- Structural surveys and inspections
- House extension structural design
- Loft conversion calculations
- Foundation design
- Roof alterations
- Structural refurbishment
- Structural defect investigations
- Structural assessments
- Temporary works design
Whether your project requires calculations for a single beam or engineering input for a larger alteration, we assess the requirements of the individual property and proposed works.
Structural calculations help establish how proposed building work affects the existing structure and how new loads should be supported.
Imperium Engineering can prepare calculations for steel beams, columns, load-bearing walls, floors, roofs, foundations and structural openings, depending on the requirements of your project.
If you already have architectural drawings, we can review the proposed layout and develop the structural design required for the works.
The resulting engineering information can then be provided to your architect, builder and other project professionals.
Steel Beam & RSJ Calculations in Berkshire
A steel beam or RSJ is commonly required when removing a load-bearing wall or creating a larger structural opening.
The appropriate solution depends on factors such as the span, loads being supported, existing construction and supporting arrangements.
We provide steel beam and RSJ calculations in Berkshire for suitable residential and commercial projects.
Typical applications include:
- Open-plan kitchen alterations
- Internal wall removal
- New structural openings
- House extensions
- Loft conversions
- Property renovations
- Structural alterations
Load-Bearing Wall Removal in Berkshire
Planning to remove a wall from your property?
Before construction begins, it is important to establish whether the wall contributes to the structural support of the building and how those loads will be supported following the alteration.
We can assess suitable wall-removal projects and provide the relevant structural calculations and engineering information.
Where a beam or other supporting structure is required, the design needs to account for the loads being transferred and the supporting elements below.
Structural Surveys & Inspections in Berkshire
If you have noticed cracks, movement, sagging floors, roof concerns, damaged structural elements or another potential structural issue, a structural inspection can help establish what requires further investigation.
Imperium Engineering provides structural inspections and assessments for suitable residential and commercial properties across Berkshire.
Depending on the reason for the inspection, we can assess areas such as:
- Walls
- Floors
- Roof structures
- Beams
- Foundations
- Cracking
- Structural movement
- Previous structural alterations
Where appropriate, our findings can help determine whether further investigation, monitoring or remedial structural work may be required.
Structural Engineer for House Extensions
Planning a house extension in Berkshire?
An extension can introduce additional loads and change how loads are transferred through the existing building and into the foundations.
We provide structural engineering support for:
- Rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Two-storey extensions
- Wraparound extensions
- New structural openings
- Roof alterations
- Foundation design
- Supporting beam design
Where architectural drawings are available, we can use them to develop the structural calculations and engineering design for the proposed works.

A loft conversion can involve changes to the existing roof and floor structure.
Depending on the proposed layout, engineering may be required for new floor joists, beams, dormers, roof alterations, openings and supporting elements.
We provide structural calculations and engineering design for suitable loft conversion projects across Berkshire.
The structural design is developed around the existing property and proposed layout rather than applying a standard solution to every building.
Structural Engineering for Berkshire Properties
Berkshire contains a diverse range of properties, from older traditional homes and period buildings to post-war housing, modern developments and extensively altered properties.
The structural requirements of a project can therefore vary significantly from one property to another.
The existing construction, proposed alteration and available drawings or site information all need to be considered when developing an appropriate engineering solution.
Whether you are renovating your home, removing a wall, extending the property or investigating cracking, we assess the requirements of the individual building.
