Structural Alterations in Cwmbran

Making the Most of Home Renovations and Custom Internal Layouts

We understand that every home is unique, and sometimes, the layout doesn’t quite meet your needs. Have you found that some rooms in your Cwmbran home are too small for comfort, while others boast unnecessary space? For example, is your family bathroom uncomfortably compact, yet an adjacent bedroom has more floor space than required? Perhaps that dining area would be better suited if it were smaller, and the additional room incorporated into the kitchen.

Our professional building contractors and tradespeople are here to help you make the most of your space with several structural alterations.

At Balaam Ltd, we offer a unique approach to home renovations. Our services are not just about making your home look better but also about making it more functional. We provide homeowners in South Wales and the surrounding areas with the opportunity to realign interiors through internal wall repositioning, conversions, or custom house extensions.

Our work enhances living conditions, boosts market value, and improves kerb appeal, setting your home apart.

Knockthroughs and RSJ Installation

By removing internal walls, we can design interiors that create a natural flow throughout your home. Partition wall removal and knockthroughs are usually completed quickly. However, removing and realigning supporting walls is a more complex job requiring careful calculations and inserting rolled steel joists.

RSJs are more than just structural steel beams; they are the backbone of your home, providing strength and versatility. They distribute loads across their length, transferring weight and stress from a load-bearing structure to the foundation.

Their unique shapes maximise strength and minimise material usage, making RSJ installation work efficient, economical, and capable of supporting substantial loads while maintaining structural integrity.

Strength and Durability: RSJs are incredibly strong, supporting heavy loads without bending or breaking thanks to their steel composition
Ease of Installation: They can be prefabricated to specific sizes and shapes, simplifying construction and reducing labour and time
Cost-Effectiveness: Their strength results in lower overall maintenance, making them a cost-effective choice for structural alterations and renovations
Fire Resistance: Steel is inherently fire-resistant, and RSJs can be further treated or coated to enhance their fire protection properties, providing additional safety

Thanks to knockthroughs and RSJ installation, our builders at Balaam Ltd can create stunning interiors that promote spacious and more purposeful living conditions.

Open-Plan Living

This popular concept is about creating a spacious interior by knocking down walls and merging common areas like the kitchen, dining room, and living room. The design will make any Cwmbran home feel bigger and brighter, encouraging more interaction and flexibility in viewing and using your newly created bespoke interior.

It’s perfect for entertaining guests or watching younger family members while you cook. Plus, it allows for a more modern and stylish vibe. Open-plan living brings a sense of community to the home, making it a popular choice for clients with larger families considering significant structural alterations and renovations.

What is classed as a structural alteration?

Structural alterations include changes that affect the integrity or load-bearing parts of a building, such as removing walls, enlarging doorways, or adjusting roof structures. These changes often require building regulations approval and professional input.

Do I need a structural engineer for internal wall removal?

Yes. If the wall is load-bearing, a structural engineer must assess it and provide calculations for any required supports (such as steel beams). We work with trusted engineers to ensure all alterations are safe and fully compliant.

Can you manage both the design and construction of structural changes?

Yes. We offer a complete service, from assessing feasibility and obtaining structural drawings to carrying out the construction work. We’ll manage the entire process to ensure the alterations are completed safely and efficiently.
