Structural Engineer in Reading

Reading is one of the UK's largest unitary authorities and has a diverse housing stock. The central areas contain Victorian and Edwardian terraces, particularly in the streets south of the station and in the East Reading Conservation Area. The outer suburbs — Caversham, Tilehurst, Earley, and Woodley — have inter-war and post-war semis and detached properties that are popular for extensions and loft conversions.

The Thames runs along the northern boundary of Reading and its flood plain affects properties in Caversham and on the riverside. The London clay and Reading Beds geology varies across the town, and foundation design should be based on site-specific conditions. The Reading Beds include sands and gravels that can have different characteristics from the clay.

We cover Reading, Caversham, Tilehurst, Earley, Woodley, and surrounding Berkshire communities.
