Hey folks,
Im about to buy a victorian terrace house with a gable to gable roof. The previous owner decided to remove the perlins and struts and make a non BC approved loft room!
The Ashlar walls are supported by two 8x2 timer beams which have been calculated to be about a quarter of the strength required! As a result of the lack of support and the additional loads imposed, the ridge has sagged.
I will obviously consult with BC about how to remedy the situation, but I hoped to get the opinion of you great folk.
PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTO
A, B & C don't current exist!
Would A & B work, or is C absolutely necessary. I ask because I saw a roof recently that was with A & B!
Thoughts much appreciated
