    Supporting Wall Removal

    Hi all, Looking to remove the supporting wall underneath these floor joists. Rather than support with a beam underneath I’m wondering if I can simply use hangers to attached to the joist at the end (as pictured, there’s actually 3 together here, they have a solid wall ontop). There’s less than...

    Confused.. Plans or Calcs?

    Hive Help!

    Thanks for the quick reply. So should I be taking live and neutral from the fuse spur, for power? And then using the old stat wires for controlling the boiler? Are there any links / diagrams showing this that you have? (I'm a visual person sorry) thanks for your help!
