Structural Engineer in Potters Bar

Potters Bar is a suburban town on the Hertfordshire-London border, with a housing stock that is predominantly inter-war semi-detached and detached properties. The town grew rapidly following the electrification of the railway in the inter-war period and has a consistent suburban character. Some older properties are found in the historic core of the town and in the surrounding villages.

The London clay that underlies parts of south Hertfordshire is plastic and prone to seasonal shrinkage, making tree proximity a relevant consideration for extension foundation design. The chalk is found at depth below the clay in many locations. The Green Belt designation that covers much of the land around Potters Bar limits the extent of garden development.
