We would like to have 2 RSJ's in our extension exposed so that they can be inspected by a structural engineer for adequacy. The steels are supporting the 2 walls of a single back bedroom.
What is the best / easiest / cheapest (?) way of exposing the steels?
Would it be better to come from below (and cut throught the plasterboard ceiling, removing Kingspan insulation boards, ceiling joists, etc)
or to come from above (and lift carpets, floorboards, etc, joists?)
Any advice welcome so I know what work to get quotes for.
