RSJ Steel Beam Installation in West London

An RSJ beam is required whenever a load above a new opening needs to be transferred safely to the walls or columns either side. This applies to knocked-through ground floors, rear extension openings, chimney breast removals, and the floor structure of loft conversions. Getting the beam size right is non-negotiable — we work from certified structural engineer calculations rather than estimates.

The installation process involves temporary propping of the structure above, accurate cutting of the wall to accept the beam and its padstones, positioning and levelling the steel, and making good once the beam is fully bedded. It sounds straightforward but the tolerances matter and the sequence of propping must be correct. We have carried out this work many times across the variety of building types in West London.

Once the beam is in, the temporary propping comes down and the opening is revealed. We carry out the making-good work — closing up the wall head on either side of the beam, plastering, and preparing the opening for whatever comes next, whether that is a bi-fold door, a new kitchen layout, or a staircase for a loft conversion.
