Structural Alteration

Existing building structures are always forever changing. Jackson's Builders (Barnsley) can guarantee a variety of services under structural alterations, such as:

  • Alterations to existing buildings
  • Roof structural alterations
  • Retaining Walls
  • Installation of structural steel supports
  • Underpinning alterations

As projects, every building that we come across and develop, we have to understand the building’s structural elements from its original plans and drawings (if available), to be able to design safe, supportive & friendly alterations. This is to certify that the buildings existing elements are not going to be overloaded by new work enforced onto it and its uses.

We understand due to ages of different buildings, original construction plans can be hard to get, but traditional buildings are usually somewhat simple to understand their structures. Modern buildings are the trickier ones to understand without plans, so usually site investigations are carried out. But we like a challenge!

Regardless whatever project it is, we always work with every client, to which they feel confident and reassured that their plans and needs are met. We have continuous communications with every client and to ensure all pricing and any changes are fully aware of and confirmed before any work is done.

A retaining wall was built for the land at the rear and to form a nice finish which leads around to the kitchen and living area and onto the patio. Next to the patio, sleepers were used to retain the ground behind it to give it a raised garden area also, which then slopes down to the rest of the front garden.
Due to planning regulations, the barn could not be made any higher, to which we underpinned the building to allow room for another floor. The leaning roof at the front of the barn was taken down, so that we could form a full sloping roof to suit the new depth of the building.
