Structural Engineer in Hastings

Hastings has a unique and historically significant character. The Old Town contains one of England's best-preserved net-drying sheds, medieval buildings, and Georgian and Victorian fishing cottages — some of which are listed. Structural alterations to these historic properties require careful assessment and sensitivity to the original construction techniques, which often include unusual or local materials.

The Victorian and Edwardian residential areas of Hastings and St Leonards — including the West Hill, Bohemia, and Silverhill areas — contain a high proportion of properties that are popular for loft conversions and extensions. The cliff geology of the Hastings cliffs — Hastings Beds sandstone — creates variable and sometimes unstable ground conditions, and slope stability is a material consideration for some properties.
