Who would i need to contact to get my loft timbers inspected?
I have noticed the majority of timbers are split at the joints (where metal connectors are)
some wood knots are missing.
one of the large supporting beams (not sure what there correctly named) has a split 5-10mm wide running down the centre of over half its length.
one of the trusses doesn't feel tight.
and a cowboy aerial fitter taking the .... put a massive industrial bolt right through the centre of a truss to hold a aerial up (which i have now removed and replaced with a small standard screw) (i had never noticed any issues in the loft until after he had been messing around)
i would like it inspected to get the all clear or advice on what and who to do repairs, what type of trades person would i need to contact?
