Steel frame built tight against an existing brick wall

SSD—F-08Frequently asked questions

Can you detail steel for a house extension?

Answers from SSD — structural steel detailers in West Yorkshire, drawing for fabricators across the UK.

The short answer

Yes. No job is too small — single beams, goalposts and extension frames are drawn with the same care as a commercial building.

Steel in houses is often mixed with timber — part-steel roofs, hips and valleys, floor supports. We detail the steel to sit correctly with the rest of the construction as the architect drew it.

Extensions rarely match the old drawings. We work from site survey information and raise RFIs for critical dimensions and levels, and give you site drilling details where new steel connects to existing steel.
