DVC Engineering

Structural Engineer in Romford

DVC Engineering provides structural engineering services to homeowners and contractors in Romford and the surrounding Havering area. We work on inter-war and post-war properties, Victorian terraces, and modern development across the area.

Local Knowledge

Romford is the principal town of the London Borough of Havering, with a housing stock that ranges from Victorian terraces in the town centre to inter-war semis in the outer areas and modern development on the town's edges. Romford Market is one of the oldest in England and the historic town centre has some older commercial properties.

The clay geology in Romford and Havering is predominantly London clay, which is highly plastic and has significant seasonal shrinkage potential. Extension foundation design must account for clay heave and shrinkage risk, particularly near trees. The local Building Control team expects to see thorough structural calculations and drawings for any notifiable structural work.

We cover Romford, Gidea Park, Harold Wood, and the surrounding Havering area.
