Structural Engineer in Ilford

Ilford is the main commercial and residential centre of the London Borough of Redbridge. The housing stock is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian — substantial quantities of terraced housing in Seven Kings and Goodmayes, and larger semis in the more suburban parts of Ilford. These properties are popular for loft conversions and rear extensions, and many have already been altered once or more.

The London clay that underlies Ilford is highly plastic and prone to seasonal shrinkage. Extension foundation design must account for tree proximity and clay heave risk. The River Roding to the west of Ilford creates some flood risk for nearby properties and affects ground conditions in the lower-lying areas.

We cover Ilford, Seven Kings, Goodmayes, Valentines, and the surrounding Redbridge area.
