I used Blueprint CAD Ltd in Leigh before. One man band, but he ran structural calcs, did CAD drawings and submitted plans to building control for us.
He was perfect for our loft conversion, and I would recommend him, although I don't think he is a qualified structural engineer... more of an ex building inspector that has learnt how to use CAD and run structural software packages.

One man band... don't think he is a qualified structural engineer... learnt how to use CAD and run structural software packages.
If he's one man, who checks his calculations? If he's not qualified, is he insured? Running software without the underlying knowledge (which he may or may not have) is dangerous.

I suggest http://www.findanengineer.com/ which is run by the Institution of Structural Engineers for exactly edhornby's type of request.
