I also would like to know if this is a sound idea. Similarly, my semi detached has current 4x2 joists running from back to front with the joist span only being half the length of the house as they sit on a cental dividing brick wall. I want to do same as you and fix new elevated joists...

Thanks guys this is reassuring. I'm replacing roman pan tile like for like so weight should be similar. I didn't realise a shake could result in the purlin splitting in half to this degree and deflecting so that it's face is no longer flush and uniform. It's amazing how wood retains so much...

Sorry Kev, yeh water works fine. I was thinking that if the water isnt circulating properly, the water in the immediate area of the boiler is heating up too much and tripping the thermostate due to over heat. The excess steam and pressure is then spat out through the discharge pipe...i could be...

Hot water is working fine.
