HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT OUR 'BRACE' PROCESS

"I found myself in a rather stressful situation due to some unsatisfactory building work. Having never used a structural engineer before and with limited knowledge of what I required, Robin was incredibly helpful and very prompt with all of his work. I highly recommend."

Claire Wilsher

"Robin is extremely thorough and diligent with his work. We’ve used him on a number of occasions and he’s always got brilliant solutions to complex problems... on more than one occasion now Robin has saved us from potentially costly building work.
If you’ve never used a structural engineer before Robin & Woodland Consulting should be your first call."

Manraaj Sunner

"Robin was able to simplify the steelwork for our loft conversion and extension meaning that the cost of the steelwork went from £6,000 to just £2,000. And due to the simpler steelworks, our builder was able to reduce his quote by over £10,000 thanks to the simplified design and much clearer CAD drawings. Many thanks!"

Nick Gilbert

Top Ten Questions Homeowners Ask

1. What is a loft conversion structural survey?

A loft conversion structural survey is an evaluation done by professionals like us at Woodland Consulting to determine if your loft space can be safely converted into living space. This survey assesses factors like the strength of existing structures, the potential for headroom, and compliance with building regulations.

2. Will I need building control permission for a loft conversion?

Yes, structural alterations ALWAYS need building control approval. Not having this may make your home difficult to sell and will devalue it.

3. Are there any hidden fees?

Our pricing is transparent. Our quote covers the assessment, advice on your options, and structural calculations you need to gain Building Control Approval.

4. What if I'm not satisfied with the results of the report?

We provide free revisions. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we work closely with you to ensure the design we come up with matches as closely as possible with your plans for your property.

5. How can I ensure my loft conversion is safe and compliant with regulations?

By working with experts like us, you ensure that all aspects of your loft conversion, from structural integrity to regulatory compliance, are professionally designed. This means it does not come down to just "trusting the builder" while the project is underway.

6. How much does a loft conversion cost?

Costs can vary widely depending on the size of your loft, the type of conversion, and the finishes you choose. Our structural designs take into account the various ways possible for achieving a loft conversion, and we carefully choose the most cost effective by balancing cost of materials, constructability, and site constraints.

7. What are the risks of doing a loft conversion?

Without proper project planning and structural engineering expertise, conversions can face risks such as structural damage, building control issues, or inability to advertise the loft as "habitable space" when selling the property. Our structural engineering service is specifically designed to minimizes these risks to the home owner.

8. Can any house have a loft conversion?

Most homes with a loft can have a conversion, but how much space you will get depends on various structural, planning and building regulation considerations. We take these into account when providing you with your best options at the start of our process.

9. How does a loft conversion add value to my home?

A loft conversion can significantly increase your home's market value, often more than the cost of the conversion itself, by adding extra living space... but only if it is Building Regulations compliant!

10. What makes Woodland Consulting different from other loft conversion companies?

We are an entirely independent advisor with no links to specific loft conversion building companies or contractors. This means we are in your corner the entire time, providing advice only for your benefit. Also we are becoming well-known worldwide for our expertise on our Youtube channel which reached 4 million views this year.
