This is where it's going , I've also read it can be framed in and just graveled...

On engineering bricks ?

I've had a concrete pad put down when our garden path was done unfortunately its the same height as the path, is this OK I thought it had to be raised ? The path around is resin so water doesn't sit on it Should I lay a course of bricks to sit the wooden joists on or can I use bitumen on the...

ha ha yeah hence the steel,

its 5.3m span

i wouldnt know until the wall is out then

no its a big span but says it would be better with a beam

thanks ok that seems do able, so i need to get the rads first then so i know the dimensions of where the pipe should be ,

i dont really like it on show, like coming up from the floorboards etc, plus im not sure i can stretch to it plus the cost of installation at the minute

thanks, thats not bad £75 to calculate, so if the council want it they can have it, brilliant thanks

ha ha nice , answering your previous question yes it will go into the first skin of the external wall but i was hoing to cut out the joists and insert wood and hang from that , your span is about the same as mine, how do you work out the loading on it ?

ahh right i see, ill call the council tomorrow and ask, it was 770 to remove the wall and make good then if it needed a steel was 190 , i thought this was cheap, i might have a look and calculate the steel i need and price it up
