building projects

Please find below details of some building projects we have recently undertaken 

Garage Door

We work with structural engineers to obtain plans when installation of steel work is required.  Not only is this often a legal requirement, but it provides appropriate assurances that the work is done correctly.  

Our client wanted to remove the two double garage doors, and insert a single garage door spanning the entire width.

An appropriate steel was designed by our structural engineer.  We removed the wall after supporting the load from above using steel props.

Steels are inserted into the opening according to the specification on the structural plan (in this case using a spreader plate)

Brick work was repaired

The next step in the process was to get our partners to manufacture the garage door.   In the meantime, we temporarily resealed the opening using the existing doors and a timber central section. ensuring the old doors were still operational. 

Hormann Garage Door DecoGrain

A Hormann sectional garage door, with deco-grain finish was installed into the opening
