Twenty-six structural engineering firms are listed for Chippenham on this directory. Nineteen say they offer extension design, sixteen offer structural inspection reports, and ten cover loft conversions. Eleven state they hold chartered status. Seventeen say they work for homeowners and three say they work for home buyers. Ten firms say they visit the property; one says it works remotely from photos or plans.
Building Regulations for most projects in Chippenham are handled by Wiltshire Council's building control team.

To apply, you can contact Wiltshire Council directly or submit an application through the Planning Portal at wiltshire.gov.uk.
Common questions
Do I need a structural engineer to remove a load-bearing wall in Chippenham?
The Planning Portal advises that a structural engineer or surveyor can determine whether a wall is load-bearing and design a beam to carry the loads, and that it is advisable to speak to one before starting any work. Removing a load-bearing wall usually requires building control approval, though building control decides what is needed in each case. Of the firms listed for Chippenham, seven say they offer beam calculations and nineteen say they offer extension design.
How do I apply for building control approval in Chippenham?
You can contact Wiltshire Council's building control team or apply through the Planning Portal. There are two main routes: a full plans application, where a decision is expected within five weeks (or two months with your consent), is the more thorough option; a building notice is only suitable for smaller projects, work can start two days after submission, and there is no formal approval of plans. Private registered building control approvers are also an option for work that is not higher-risk.
How do I check a structural engineer in Chippenham is chartered?
You can use the Engineering Council's RegCheck tool to confirm whether an engineer's CEng or IEng registration is currently active. The IStructE and ICE also publish member directories you can search. Of the twenty-six firms listed for Chippenham, eleven state they hold chartered status on their own websites; this is what they say and has not been independently verified through this directory.
Do I need to tell my neighbours before structural work on a shared wall?
Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, if work affects a party wall you must give your neighbours at least two months' notice before the start date. For a new wall on the boundary line or excavation near a neighbour's building, at least one month's notice is required. It is worth checking whether your planned structural work falls under the Act before you begin, as the notice periods apply regardless of how straightforward the work appears.
