Structural Builders Kettering - Local Knowledge
Are you dreaming of a larger home but you do not want to leave your current street?
Up to Date Layouts
Many families in Kettering love their neighbourhoods but feel trapped by the old fashioned layout of their houses. Older properties were often built with many small separate rooms. Today modern families prefer bright open spaces where they can cook eat and relax together in one place. To achieve this you need to make major changes to the skeleton of your house. This is exactly where DAMAX Building Solutions comes into the picture. We are the leading structural builders in Kettering. We specialise in safely changing the layout of your home to give you the modern lifestyle you have always wanted. We turn cramped and outdated properties into stunning contemporary homes.
The most popular home improvement project right now is creating a large open plan living area. People want to knock down the dividing wall between their kitchen and their dining room. This creates one massive space that is perfect for entertaining friends or keeping a close eye on the children while you cook dinner. As experienced structural builders we make this transformation look easy.
Removing an internal wall completely changes how the natural light flows through your property. A dark hallway can suddenly become a bright welcoming entrance. A cramped kitchen becomes the stunning centrepiece of your whole home. We help you unlock the hidden potential of your property. We listen to your ideas and explain exactly what is physically possible within your specific building. We can also widen existing doors to fit huge modern glass panels connecting your indoor space to your garden.

The Importance of Professional Structural Expertise
Knocking down a wall might look simple on television but in reality it is highly complex and dangerous work. You cannot just take a sledgehammer to a wall and hope for the best. Many internal walls are load bearing. This means they physically hold up the heavy weight of the floor above them or the roof itself. If you remove a load bearing wall without the correct temporary support your house could suffer major damage.
This is why you must hire professional structural builders for this type of project. At DAMAX Building Solutions safety is our absolute top priority. Before we remove a single brick our expert team conducts a thorough inspection of your property. We work closely with highly qualified structural engineers to calculate exactly how much weight needs to be supported. We take the guesswork out of the building process to guarantee your home remains totally safe.
Expert Steel Beam Installation and Support
When we safely remove a load bearing wall we have to replace that structural support with something stronger. We do this by installing heavy steel beams. These strong metal beams carry the immense weight of the house above the brand new open space. Installing steel safely requires specialist lifting equipment and years of hands on experience.
Our skilled Kettering team handles the entire steel installation process from start to finish. We accurately measure and order the exact size of steel required for your property. We safely lift it into position and secure it firmly to the existing brickwork. Once the steel is perfectly in place we carefully wrap it in special fire resistant materials to meet strict national safety standards. Finally we plaster smoothly over the work so you are left with a beautifully flat ceiling. You will never even know the heavy steel beam is hidden up there.
Navigating Local Building Regulations
Any structural change to your home must comply strictly with UK building regulations. This is a strict legal requirement. If you ignore these important rules you will face serious problems if you ever decide to sell your house in the future. Buyers will always ask for the correct certificates. As your local Kettering building experts we handle all the complicated building control paperwork for you. We submit the detailed structural calculations to the local authority on your behalf. We arrange for the building inspectors to visit the site to check our work. We make sure you receive your final completion certificate easily.

What our clients say?
EXCELLENT Based on 30 reviews Posted on Google Tricia DawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a large project and it encountered unexpected problems but Damax were excellent in addressing whatever came up and solving these problems quickly and efficiently. I am extremely pleased with my new kitchen and the additional jobs to insulate the study etc. They also did everything they could to keep problems away from me, protecting the customer as much as possible. They were clean, efficient and I was kept informed at all stages. All the different workers who came to the house were pleasant and friendly. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends, family and anyone else I know who is looking for a bulder.Posted on Google Andrea RichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We wanted an extension to our property but only upstairs. We didn’t want to project manage ourselves so after plenty of searches, decided upon Damax. From first conversation with Sam, we explained what we had in mind and he set to drawing some plans. We signed on the dotted line and got a start date. Due to Christmas, this slightly changed but that was fine. Work began on 5th January. Throughout the process, we were spoken to respectfully - sometimes tradesmen can be very condescending to laymen - not Damax staff. Whatever question we asked, was answered and explained fully. From the initial start date right through to the end, we have nothing but good comments. The rain early on in the year was relentless and they only finished early ONCE. Shout outs go to Darren but especially Nathan, Sean, Ellie, Charlie & David - masters of their craft. It looks fantastic. Thank you! Andrea, Andy, Miles & Ruby ❤️Posted on Google Heather ProrokTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In June 2025 I asked DAMAX Building solutions for a quote to install a new kitchen. They came out promptly and assessed the job, made some clever suggestions when I wasn’t sure what I wanted and sent in a comprehensive and competitive quote very quickly. This included removing a chimney breast up through the house to the attic. From the start the team were reliable, friendly and well organised. They arrived when they said they would and always kept me up to date with what was happening and what the next steps would be with an approximate time for when this stage would be completed. They delivered outstanding workmanship and always cleaned up when they had finished for the day. All the tradesmen were polite and friendly. When I needed to speak to anyone at the office there was always someone available to answer my questions. Because I was so pleased with the work on the kitchen, I asked them to quote for a complete bathroom renovation at the end of 2025. Again, they were extremely helpful, and the work was completed to a high standard with as little disruption as possible last month. I am extremely pleased with both projects and would not hesitate to use them again and to recommend them to anyone thinking of having work done. Heather ProrokPosted on Google luke brittanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Demax to build an extension on our property and they did an excellent job from start to finish. The work was completed to a very high standard and the whole team was friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. They worked within our budget and were completely transparent with information at every stage. No question ever felt like a silly question, they always took the time to explain things clearly so I understood the process and the next steps of the build. Overall, an excellent experience. I would highly recommend Demax to anyone considering building work or an extension.Posted on Google Attila BihariTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We asked for advice to remove a wall. Sally was very kind to help us. Everything went very easily and professionally. Thank you to the company and Sally. We will contact them for future work.Posted on Google Matthew LevaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service from Damax when dealing with our leaking toilet recently. The problem was quickly diagnosed and fixed all within 30 mins of arrival. Left the area clean and tidy and would happily recommend Damax to others for both building and plumbing services. Damax are capable of dealing with all types of home improvement and property maintenance tasks. Keep up the good work.Posted on Google Lisa PattersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We reached out to Damax with concerns around a potential issue with our roof/chimney. Darren responded during his annual leave and arranged a visit. During the call I was reassured entirely and upon the visit Darren explained thoroughly how the roof and structure works. Instead of making a job from nothing, he kindly explained we did not need to worry and that work was not required. I felt it necessary to give good feedback as this showed an honest tradesman and instead of creating a job and taking money unnecessarily, he had advised us and gave us a better understanding. We offered money for his time to assess the job and again he declined. From the experience I can 100% say that we would use Damax for any future issues we may have due to the professionalism and kindness shown throughout our interactions. Thank you for reinstating our faith in there being honest and professional tradesmen out there 👍🏼Posted on Google catalin sanduTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daren and the team were brilliant in delivering their services. Very professional and prompt in all matters. Happy to chose them and strongly recommended!Posted on Google Phil SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently had our 1930s semi knocked through, from an old, tired galley kitchen into a new , modern kitchen/diner. Communication was great from the off, we knew when work was due to be done and it was carried out promptly and efficiently. We are delighted with the results and would not hesitate to use DAMAX again for further projects.Posted on Google Anitta MichaelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Damax building Solutions Ltd for renovation works in our recently purchased old Victorian house. Darren and his team( especially two Mark’s) were excellent. All works were completed as discussed with no delays or excuses. Thank you.
