Hi loft fans --
My mate and I have boarded my loft using standard B&Q boarding. With non-standard widths between joists, we simply got them all down without cutting and one consequence is that there are some ends that hang between joists. We assumed that surrounding boards would hold it together, but have found that even reasonable pressure will flex and break the boards.
Having spent a couple of days on this we need to get a way of correcting the problem. My question for the board is this -- would it be a better use of time and money to board over it with lighter board (say 3-5mm ply), or unscrew the whole lot and start again?
Any advice/insight appreciated.
Regards
Ben
