Structural Engineer in Sudbury

Sudbury is a historic wool town in the Stour valley on the Suffolk-Essex border, famous as the birthplace of Thomas Gainsborough. The town has a significant stock of medieval and Georgian listed buildings in the town centre — timber-framed and plastered — alongside Victorian and Edwardian residential properties in the surrounding streets.

The Stour valley clay and alluvial geology creates variable foundation conditions. The flood plain of the River Stour is significant and affects riverside properties. The north Essex and south Suffolk boulder clay is highly plastic and susceptible to seasonal shrinkage. We work with Babergh District Council's Building Control team on local project submissions.

We cover Sudbury, Long Melford, Clare, Lavenham, and surrounding Stour valley communities.
