Structural Engineer in Margate

Margate has undergone significant cultural regeneration in recent years, centred on the Turner Contemporary and the Old Town. The Georgian and early Victorian properties of the Old Town Conservation Area are increasingly being restored and converted, requiring structural assessment and sensitive engineering. Many of these buildings have complex histories of alteration and require thorough investigation before structural design can proceed.

The wider town has a substantial stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, some in good condition and others requiring structural repair before conversion or extension works can be designed. The chalk geology beneath Margate provides good bearing, but the proximity of some areas to former chalk mine workings requires investigation on a site-specific basis.

We cover Margate, Cliftonville, Westgate-on-Sea, Birchington, and the wider Thanet coast.
