Internal remodelling

Change the layout, keep the house

Most older Sheffield houses were built as a run of small rooms. Taking out a wall or two, moving the kitchen or opening the back of the house to the garden can change how the whole place lives without adding a square metre. This is structural work, and it is the part of the job where experience matters most: WRD installs the steels, supports the structure while the work happens and makes good so you cannot see where the wall was.

We work with structural engineers we trust, provide the calculations building control need, book the inspections and leave you with a completion certificate. Chimney breast removal, moving staircases, forming new openings and reconfiguring upstairs layouts are all regular work.
