GL Design Services for residential layout alterations
We are consulting structural engineers in Croydon with over 14 years of design experience amassed on diverse projects including residential conversions, new builds and temporary works of varying size and complexity. We pride ourselves in providing high quality structural engineering services and solutions, helping our clients to complete their schemes on time and within budget. Our practice is fully insured with all engineers being chartered and registered members of Engineering Council and the Institute of Civil Engineers.
We have undertaken many bespoke home extension projects, ranging from a single-storey kitchen add-on to complex multi-level and multi-sided configurations. Our scope of services for those kind of projects involved removing load bearing walls, steel beam design, lintel design, foundations design and many more project specific items related to site constraints and location.
Property refurbishments have always been the core of our services. Need advice on a load bearing wall removal, RSJ calculations, steel beam for chimney breast support, lintel design above opening or find out about cost of an inspection. Call us today for a non-obligatory cost estimation for structural calculations or other structural engineering services.
We have gathered a sound expertise in designing a great variety of roof conversions, creating additional habitable space to free up a busy household. Our services entailed specifying layout of steels for loft conversion, location and size of timber beams and trimming around openings. Contact us to find out more about loft conversion in Croydon.
Having worked with one of the biggest demolition contractors gave us a solid understanding of temporary works design for residential conversion projects. We can offer structural engineering consultancy services in designing temporary propping, needling beams, general works sequence above and below ground.
We develop comprehensive and detailed drawing output to ensure there are no issues on site as construction is the most expensive and labour intensive phase of each project. Therefore, information transparency and presentation have always been at the forefront of our work ethos – please take a look through some examples of our work.

I found GL Design online, as a company that was local to me that would support the structural... designs for our renovation project. With this being our first renovation, I don't mind admitting that I didn't really know what I was doing. As I talked Gregory through what we wanted, he was patient and knowledgeble and made me confident he knew what was needed, whilst providing us with helpful alternative options with the value of his experience. Their price was fair too. I'd have no hesitation in recommending GL Design.read more
We had some concerns about some structural elements of our home and asked GL Design Services to... complete a review to let us know whether any work was needed to bring them up to scratch. Gregory was excellent from start to finish, he was very knowledgable and took time to explain things to us and present the different options for correcting them. He also drew up very detailed plans within a reasonably short timeframe so we could start approaching builders. Even though their quote was not the cheapest we would have no hesitation in recommending GL Design Services, they're worth every penny.read more
