Steels, rsj, lintels, structural alterations, structural calculations, steel beams, Knock throughThere are many different names and phrases used for what is usually the same type of work. Steels, rsj (rolled steel joists), I section beams, and lintels are all used for similar types of structural alterations to existing buildings, and homes.They are usually inserted to support existing masonry above a "knock through". This is a very simple and straight forward type of building alteration, often used when two rooms are to be "Knocked through". This kind of work is simple and straight forward if done correctly, with the correct structural calculations, you must also make sure that you inform your local authority building control department. We do this as part of our service. They will need to check that the work has been correctly planned so the new steel beam or lintel is suitable to carry the kind of load you plan to expose it to. The only person fully qualified to make this kind of vital decision is a qualified structural engineer. This seems to be dismissed by some general builders. We have been quite shocked at the number of our customers who have been advised by "other builders" that "they know what they are doing, and they don’t need to tell the council", this is not correct, and could potentially be highly dangerous not to mention costly if work needs to be redone. We were once alarmed to be told by a customer that the "other builder" said "Oh I will just knock the wall out and see if it all holds up". Lucky we explained the correct process.
