Anyone do lofts???

[Jamin_00]

Want to create more space.

All the felt under the tiles needs renewing and i want to move all the beams out the way and board it all out.

In the south essex area and want something done ASAP.

plenty of white and yellow vans up that way one must be advertising loft conversions....

Just seeing if any addicts want the work first before i ring local company's

Could be a nitemare Ben, as depending in style of beams you want to get rid off, you will have to put extra support elsewhere, some lofts are easy, some are hard work, done electrics in some, doesn't help you much as I'm miles away lol

And sometimes defying the point of moving them. The beams can be hard to replace in an ideal position without disturbing the structial integrity of the roof. This is by no means scare tactics mate.

As kev said it can go two ways.

Good luck Ben mate :)

Lol, takes Ben 2 months to build a heli :D

Best bet before you start mate, get a structural engineer or architect round to have a look, the beams are the for a reason to Yale the weight of the roof, it may involve larger beams being put from wall to wall lower down the roof, but it means making a larger hole in the side of your house to get these new beams in, Like I say mate, get a pro in to have a look

[Jamin_00]

Fully intend to do it properly thats for sure :)

Hi

You'll need to obtain building regulations approval so it maybe useful to speak to one of the building control officers at the Council in the first instance. They will probably be able to tell exactly how easy (or not) it may be to do.
