# Fothergill & Co - Business Description
Fothergill & Company Ltd is a firm of Chartered Structural Engineers based in Richmond, Surrey, specialising in structural consultancy for domestic, commercial and public sector clients. Operating from their Hill Street office for over 45 years, they provide comprehensive engineering solutions across London, the South East and throughout the UK.
The firm distinguishes itself through deep expertise in historic and listed building work, combining investigative skills with sensitive restoration knowledge. Rather than offering generic engineering services, Fothergill focuses on complex challenges: building defect investigation, structural repair and refurbishment of period properties, and the design of new structures with associated civil engineering works.
Their service portfolio extends beyond traditional consultancy. Directors and staff are all Chartered Engineers with extensive experience, enabling them to deliver not only technical calculations and structural drawings but also expert witness testimony and party wall surveying—services that require both technical mastery and professional judgment. This breadth reflects their positioning as specialists for projects requiring more than standard structural design.
The company has built their reputation on solving challenging problems, particularly where historical significance or technical complexity demands experienced professionals. They work closely with clients who need detailed structural analysis, compliance with heritage requirements, or investigation of building problems that require expert diagnosis and creative solutions.
