Hi, I am in the early stages of planning an extension to my existing loft conversion on a 1959 bungalow. I have plans that show a 4.8mtr 152 x 152 x 37 UC laying across from the outside wall across a 3mtr width room and laying along 1.8mtrs of the internal wall. My questions are can I lay the 1,8mtr section on just a bed of mortar or does it have to be pad stones. And on the outside wall can the beam lay on the existing wooden wall plate or dos it need to be removed.
Any advice would be appreciated. Drawings can be provided if required.
Thanks Steve
