"You will need to contact a structural engineer to calculate the structural integrity of your walls and the weight of the balcony."

"Juliet balcony is required to withstand in a single family dwelling. Should you require a higher line load test (for instance if your balcony is in an area where people may congregate)"

"All balcony are different you would need to get a engineering to work this out and to check that the walls can take the load."

"If your walls are made of brickwork , then it should be fine. Just drill holes for the fixings and use a chemical resin fix to secure your bolts, trim the excess when dry and fit your balcony. There is very little play in the fixings so you must be accurate with your bolt positioning before they go hard. ."
