Expert Structural Alterations in Surrey

Opening Up and Strengthening Your Home

Older homes were rarely built for the open, connected spaces people want today. Careful structural alterations let you remove walls, widen openings and change how your property flows, safely and without compromising the building. FMT Construction Consultants Ltd carries out this work in-house for homeowners across Walton on Thames, Weybridge, Cobham, and the surrounding areas, always to the correct standards and sign-off.

Removing Walls the Safe Way

Knocking two rooms into one is one of the most effective ways to modernise a home, but a load-bearing wall cannot simply be taken out. We install correctly sized steel beams, or RSJs, to carry the load above, then make good around them so the finished opening looks like it was always there. It is the same expertise we bring to every home extension.


Backed by Proper Calculations

Safe structural alterations start on paper. We work alongside qualified structural engineers to produce the calculations for every beam and support, submit the work to building control, and handle any party wall matters with neighbours, so the job is signed off correctly and holds its value across Esher, Oxshott, and neighbouring communities.

Steel Beams and Supports

From a single opening between a kitchen and dining room to a full-width rear knock-through for a new open-plan space, we supply and fit the right steelwork for the job. Every beam is sized to the engineer's specification, properly padded and supported, and fully encased once it is in place.

Chimney Breast Removal

Redundant chimney breasts eat into bedrooms and living rooms. We remove them safely, install the correct support for the masonry left above, and make good the walls, floors and ceilings so you reclaim the space cleanly. It is a common first step in a wider property renovation.

Openings, Lintels and Beyond

Whether you want new bi-fold doors onto the garden, a wider hallway, or a fresh window opening, we form the opening, fit the correct lintel or beam and finish it neatly. It is also the groundwork that makes an open-plan kitchen refurbishment possible.
