Structural Engineer in Lewes

Lewes is the county town of East Sussex and one of England's most attractive historic towns. The town has a large stock of listed and conservation-area properties, ranging from medieval flint buildings to Georgian brick townhouses and Victorian semis. Structural engineering for these properties requires sensitivity to the historic fabric and coordination with Historic England and the local heritage planning authority.

The chalk geology beneath the South Downs that surrounds Lewes provides generally firm foundation conditions, though the chalk can be variable and some properties on the valley sides have complex ground conditions. The River Ouse flood plain through Lewes is significant — the town has been affected by serious flooding in the past, and flood risk must be considered for any new construction or extension at low level.
