Our building company offers a range of building services to optimise customers’ properties in Guildford, Woking and the surrounding areas. At OM Barker Builders Ltd, we specialise in attached and detached garage conversions, house refurbishments, structural alterations, rear-facing house extensions, side-return extensions and more property upgrades.
Here, we look at how RSJ installations can strategically enhance garage conversions.
By installing a structural steel beam, such as an RSJ, we can remove the entire internal wall between your existing hallway or kitchen and the garage. This transforms a standard conversion into a knock-through project, helping integrate the space. Instead of gaining a separate, isolated room, you essentially double the width of your living area. This approach is particularly popular with mid-century homes, where the original layouts can feel cramped.
The technical side of RSJ installations in garage conversions is where our building company shines. We assess the load-bearing requirements of homes’ upper floors and identify the correct steel to support the weight once the wall is removed. This allows us to create wide, open entrances with natural light flowing from the front of the house to the back, making the space feel even larger. We tailor our approach to meet your requirements and add features to make a house your home. This is also true for the house refurbishments, house extensions and other services we offer in and around Guildford.
Using RSJs allows for creative layout solutions. You can split the converted space, making half a utility room while keeping the other half open to the kitchen, creating a massive home hub. By prioritising structural engineering at the start of your conversion, you ensure the end result is a high-end, architectural upgrade that enhances your lifestyle and significantly boosts your property’s market value.
