I had a structural engineer came round last year
and produced me drawings for steelwork to reinforce some broken beams.

I called him back because I was unhappy with one of his supports being
inches away from a doorway.

He was recomended to me by the local builder
whose metal beam for a hole in my kitchen wall
was condemned by this newsgroup and by the council building inspector.


It would be useful to link to a sketch or photo of what he's suggesting.
It may well be fine.

If you want legal help, then uk.legal would be more appropriate.


here's a photo,

his plan is to put 2 beams of metal each side of the beam above
with a 'firm support'

Its holding up a lot of roof,
I think there should be a long horizontal beam over the door.

stop press-
he just phoned
(i left a couple of answer phone messages last night)
he's coming on wednesday morning.
