Not sure where it fits?

Start with the result you need.

You do not need to know the trade terminology. Share the current problem, the property area and the change you have in mind. We can review whether the work is a suitable fit and identify the next practical step.

Structural work must follow the relevant engineer’s design and Building Control requirements where applicable.
