Hi,
I'm looking to enlarge my loft hatch, which looks like this from the underneath....
And like this from the loft space...
The cut will come towards the camera as it is in the above picture, through one joist and leaving the hanger intact (I may also put an extra hanger to the left of the new hole).
I'm fine with the basics of how to do it (connect timber supports on top of joists, cut joists and plaster, add new noggins, remove supports etc) - but I just wanted to check I'd not missed anything!
Just for info, the loft - looking the other direction - looks like this
All the best,
Mark
