Info required please.
I am specing up breg plans for an extension.
I have new first floor joists spaning 3metres at 90 degrees from an existing brickwork wall fixing to a new cavity wall. How do I fix new joists to the existing wall? Can joist hangers be keyed in to existing wall? or (my idea) can I rawlbolt a joist against the wall? and hang joists from that using hangers. Also do I fix 30x5 straps to existing wall for lateral support.
Thanks in advance.
