Beams and Floor Bearers Sydney

Structural timber that sits on piers and carries the floor

Beams and floor bearers in Sydney are the timber that carries a floor. They sit on piers. They have to be level, in the right size, and able to take the load. Licensed carpentry 397254C.

Beams and Floor Bearers Sydney – Elite Demolition & Excavation Sydney & Central Coast

How this job runs

Bearer and beam work shows up after a demolition when a floor is going back in, or on a new deck, or when an old floor has to come out and go back true. The piers have to be there first. The timber has to match the span. This is carpentry, not a demolition tidy-up, even if the same company just took the house down.

Access for long timber is the usual surprise on inner-city sites. A bearer does not bend around a terrace hall. We look at how the steel or the timber gets in before we quote. Levels come off the piers we set or the ones that are already there.

Piers sit on piering and structural support. Framing and trusses sit with carpentry. We can do the ground and the timber on one booking.

We inspect, then we quote. Photos of the underside or the open site help. Call 0487 549 909 or send the suburb and a couple of photos.

From first look to handover

  1. 01

    See the span and the access

    How long the timber is, how it gets in, and what it sits on. Wrong piers mean we stop.

  2. 02

    Set the bearers

    Level, packed, fixed. The floor above is only as true as this layer.

  3. 03

    Hand over to the floor

    Joists and flooring can go on. If that is us as well, it stays one crew.

Beams and floor bearers FAQs

Do you install floor bearers after a demolition?

Yes, when the next stage is a timber floor. Piers first, bearers next. Licensed carpentry 397254C.

Can you replace bearers under an existing house?

Sometimes. Access under the floor is the limit. Photos of the underside tell us if it is realistic.

Is this demolition or carpentry?

Carpentry. It sits in this section because it often follows piers and a dig on the same site.
