hi guys sorry but this is yet another loft question my ceiling joists are 3x2 do you think it would be safe to cross bastten with 2x2 and board with 18mm chipboard flooring to create a room my my son to play games console ?? many thanks guys

Hi all Hope someone can help me while I still have hair left. 2 gang switch downstairs all works fine. 1 way hall and 2 way stairs 3 gang upstairs all works fine. 2x 1 way bathroom and loft and 1x 2 way stairs If the 2 way is switched on from downstairs the stair light works fine but the...

if the central beam was 75% + sat on the 4x2 directly above a block wall then i presume it could be reduced in size. :?

getting to the wall plate is the problem with that as it is right in the eaves. could possibly do it with 1 beam in the centre and 2 sets of joists cut on an angle at the eaves I suppose. :?

its really the beam size putting me off. gives me 13" above the current joists :(

yeah i realise that, my 3 years at college werent completely wasted (time served joiner but out of the trade for about 10 yrs) but thought that 6x2 would be enough. never mind though :(

bloody hell pal didnt think it would be anywhere near that big. was thinking more like 200x100 (ish) beams and 6x2 joists. I know a few in my area with similar houses and they have just used the ceiling joists (4x2) !!! didnt want to follow that but sounds like it may be running beyond me cost...

hi guys can anyone tell me if it would be acceptable to fit a beam in 2 or 3 pieces bolted together. This is for a loft conversion in a terraced house and so to install in 1 piece would need the roof to be removed. Thus putting the job out of reach (price). many thanks :D :D :D

Hi buddy If your gonna hire why not buy http://m.screwfix.com/details.htm?id=55660 Very good for diy and once bought you have it to keep Hope you don't mind me saying ;-)

yes i understand it wont make it 6x2 but if screwed together would it be as strong to take the extra weight loading ?? thanks

hi all (go easy first time poster) following on from above what would be the best way to strengthen the existing 4x2 joists to enable use of the loft for more than storage :D was thinking of re-joisting in 4x2 at right angles to the existing as i read on a web-site but cant see how...
