I have a 50’s ex-council house, I’ve noticed that there are quite a few holes & notches cut in the joists
The house has been rewired twice and also had storage heaters fitted & removed, it also has an old gas pipe notched in-to the joists
It had Gas central heating fitted prior to my purchase (think this was fitted in 2002)
I have noticed that the main piping for the heating runs across the upstairs floor with two notches cut right though the centre of the joists
None of the notches or holes I have seen meet the rules laid down in the current building regs, was this common practice or have the regs changed?
