Hi My new kitchen floor height is 1cm lower than the living room one. (my mistake) Kitchen is to be tiled and living to be laminated with 12mm. There is an opening where they will join. Is there anything I can do that's not too expensive to rectify? Was aiming for a levelled floor

@Aduca if you remove a couple of boards then use a few acrow props under neath. Maybe you can add noggins between the 2 joists under so the wall is supported by noggins. Im assuming it's a single wall. Is it supporting anything above? Are any joists sitting on top of it?

Almost but I have dormers too. The back dormer is sat the inner leaf. The front one is sat on an rsj.

Hi. The timber is 3 inches thick and depth is 1 foot. The joists span 3.9 metres on one side and 3.7 on the other. Thanks
