Building Dreams, Ensuring Safety

At Salstan, our structural engineering services are designed to give your project a strong foundation and total peace of mind. Whether you’re starting from scratch or making structural changes, our expert structural engineering team ensures every element complies with current regulations and safety standards.

We support new builds, extensions, renovations and structural repairs with professional expertise and dedicated guidance throughout your project.

What is Structural Engineering?

Structural engineering is the design of all key load-bearing elements that keep your
home standing strong. It involves precise calculations and drawings for components
like beams, columns, and foundations. As a result, the entire structure remains
stable, safe, & fully compliant with building regulations.

Why Does It matter?

  • Built for Safety – Ensures your structure is stable, secure, and meets all building regulations.
  • Mandatory – Any extension or structural change to your home requires engineering calculations to ensure the building remains safe and stable. Without proper structural design, you risk serious safety issues and failed inspections.
  • Required for Approval – Structural calculations are a key part of most planning and building regulation submissions.
  • Peace of Mind for the Future – A well-engineered structure means fewer problems down the line. No cracks, no surprises.

Why Are We the Best for House Extensions?

Regulation Ready

Our calculations and detailing are always produced in line with current UK Building Regulations. This means fewer revisions, faster approvals, and peace of mind knowing your project won’t get held up at the compliance stage.

Material Expertise

We design confidently in steel, timber, concrete, and masonry. Choosing the right material for your specific build type, budget, and performance needs. No guesswork. Just the right structure for the job.

Project-Specific Designs

Our structural designs are tailored to each project, factoring in the build type, property layout, and on-site conditions to ensure the best fit. We don’t use copy-paste templates. Everything is customised to suit your property’s conditions and the architect’s vision.

Reliable

According to industry data, nearly 1 in 4 applications are flagged for incomplete or inaccurate structural information, leading to costly redesigns and weeks of lost time. At Salstan, we’ve never had a project rejected due to a structural calculation error. This is simply the result of our in-depth analysis. We never rely on templates or guesswork.

Elite structural Drawings

Our drawings do more than meet the brief. They're clear, coordinated, and ready for construction. We know how to avoid delays by getting it right from the start, making life easier for both your builder and your local authority.
