Structural Engineer in Hertford

DVC Engineering provides structural engineering services to homeowners and professionals in Hertford and the surrounding area. We work on the town's Georgian and Victorian properties, inter-war homes, and rural buildings.

Local Knowledge

Hertford is the county town of Hertfordshire and has an attractive historic centre with Georgian and Victorian architecture, including a Norman castle. Many properties in the town centre conservation area are listed and require careful structural assessment for any alteration. The residential areas around the town have Victorian and Edwardian semis and inter-war detached properties.

The River Lea (or Lee) flows through Hertford, and the river flood plain creates flood risk for some properties in the lower-lying areas. The chalk geology of the Lea valley headwaters provides firm foundation conditions in the higher areas of the town. We produce Building Control-ready structural packages for all project types.

We cover Hertford, Ware, Hoddesdon, and surrounding east Hertfordshire areas.
