Responsible for an old timber barn where structural condition needs to be understood across Ashford, London and the Home Counties?
BYTNAR LTD are Chartered Structural Engineers helping farm owners understand structural condition, safety concerns and repair priorities before committing to further use, alteration or investment.
Older farm buildings can conceal decayed timber bearings, corroded connections, displaced bracing, roof spread or changes in loading. Foundations, frame stability and roof restraint may also need to be considered before continued use, conversion or installation of new equipment. For farm owners, uncertainty can lead to unexpected costs, delays, maintenance problems and safety concerns.
Existing supports, condition and load paths should be understood before repair, strengthening, conversion or continued use is assumed to be safe.
BYTNAR provide timber barn inspections, post and truss assessments, bearing and bracing checks, roof spread review, proportionate calculations and repair or strengthening advice, with clear records of findings where needed.
This helps farm owners understand what can remain in use, what needs repair or strengthening and where further investigation may be required, so they can plan the next steps with clearer technical evidence.
