Good evening chaps... Looking for a bit of advice, before my house falls down.
Basically moved into this house (150 years old) this year. Now I've just started a refit on my bathroom, which the room itself was added sometime by splitting the bigger bedroom. Now I'm a bit worried in that the partition wall has been built in what looks like breeze blocks (under the plaster) but it has just been built on top of the floorboards with a joist running directly underneath. Surely this can't be strong enough? If I start tiling the wall is it likely to end up in my kitchen? Does it need to come down and be studded?
Thanks in advance
