I want to take a wall out in my bungalow
The wall separates the lounge from the kitchen and is around 8ft long there is nothing coming down onto the top of the wall in the loft the only thing its supporting is the ceiling timbers as they meet over this wall from the two rooms so my question is what size rsj should I use to hold the ceiling timbers up also can this be done in the loft?
By laying timber beams across the existing joists and using joist hangers etc so the ceiling will not show the supporting beam?
Yes I expect this will come under building control but as its not supporting I was going to just get it done without? “Mums the word” would this cause any problems when I come to sell etc.
Advice please…….
