Frequently Asked Questions

Can a bridge always be refurbished, or does it need replacing?

Many older bridges can be restored or upgraded rather than replaced, saving time and cost. We’ll assess the condition and provide the best-value recommendation.

Do you refurbish bridges you didn't originally build?

Yes – we regularly inspect, repair, and refurbish bridges built by others, including those supplied decades ago.

Will I need planning permission for refurbishment?

Minor repairs often don’t require consent, but significant visual changes or work on listed structures may need approval. We can advise and assist.
