Hi There, thanks for looking, need a bit of advice on the staircase support.
We are looking to get our wall between kitchen and living to be completely removed (single wall upstairs/downstairs - not in loft) and upper wall/floor to be supported by RSJ beam.
While I was looking for Joist setup etc. for RSJ, i came across these two beams underneath the staircase which got me thinking would they be supporting the staircase ? As clearly these support will fall out once the wall is removed to put the RSJ to sit nicely underneath the floor.
I had looked for any possible joint/connection between these support and staircase but cant find it nailed anywhere etc.. so just confused
Can anyone please tell me what these supports - highlighted in Red in the picture, are for ? and what are the impacts if they are to be removed?
We need the stairs and would like to know if these would have any impacts,
Thanks in advance.
