Structural Assessments
Our structural assessments evaluate building integrity and load-bearing requirements for residential and commercial projects. We identify necessary reinforcements, material specifications, and compliance standards for safe, durable constructions. Our engineers deliver detailed reports and tailored solutions to meet specific project demands.
Loft Conversions
We design and oversee loft conversions that maximise space utilisation while ensuring structural safety and regulatory compliance. Our services include beam installation, staircase integration, and load distribution calculations to create functional living areas within existing properties.
Drainage Design
Our drainage design services cover surface water management, foul sewer systems, and sustainable urban drainage solutions (SUDS). We ensure compliance with local authority requirements and environmental regulations through detailed site analysis and hydraulic modelling.
Feasibility Studies
We conduct comprehensive feasibility studies to evaluate structural possibilities, cost implications, and regulatory constraints for proposed developments. Our assessments help clients make informed decisions about project scope, budget, and technical requirements before committing to full design phases.
Refurbishments
Our refurbishment services address structural upgrades, material replacements, and layout modifications for existing buildings. We balance heritage preservation with modern performance standards, providing reinforcement solutions and adaptive reuse strategies for residential and commercial properties.

Really happy with the service and drawings from CP Structural Engineering. Chris was a pleasure to communicate with, highly knowledgeable and he made a potentially daunting house renovation (rear open plan extension, loft conversion) feel like something of a breeze. The builders commented positively on the level of detail in the drawings. Highly recommended.

As a professional Interior Designer I am always looking for 'top notch' people that I can add to my contacts list & Chris at CP Structural Engineering definitely gets 5 stars from me. I recently employed his services on a major residential refurbishment which included the need for numerous steels & calculations on a very complex roof structure. Chris came up with immediate solutions & his proposal was passed by Building Control first time with no amendments. His professionalism, ability to work to tight deadlines & problem solve is second to none & I would recommend without hesitation.

Having Chris on our project was great. He ticked all the boxes in terms of being friendly, punctual, good value for money and stuck to his original quote. He also made it so much easier for us by liaising directly with architect and builders to keep things moving forward. Couldn't ask for more and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.
