Haha it is mate yeah you gotta take credit there :LOL:

Just to update everyone…. Had a SE come out to visit and take a look. He confirmed it isn’t a supporting beam and it was put up when the loft was first built as a help for when they were fitting the main components of the loft. Thanks for your advice on getting it in writing as well, SE...

Yeah mate it is haha. I’ve got some insulation now for the rafters, 50mm gaps etc so it will improve hopefully!

Hi mate, had a good look at this and there isn’t a wall below the 2 struts no.

There’s 2 bedrooms under there mate but I don’t think there is a direct wall right underneath where they are no

Thanks everyone for your replies. Woody sorry for the layman language I use, but do you mean a wall directly underneath the vertical piece of timber? I’m not sure there is anything under there. Looking at the top of the vertical timber, there’s a small gap and it actually isn’t touching any part...

Have you got his number please?

Haha sorry Ronny, didn’t realise you were SE. So advice is to get a SE round, I’m Notts region, does anybody know what approx average cost to get an SE opinion pop over and take a look? ta JB

Thanks for all your replies guys, very much appreciated on your thoughts. Your quote right I have spilt a few rounds of tea up there haha. thought you might say SE, fair comment, guess I was being cheeky seeing if anyone on here was a SE, or had the knowledge to know without me paying someone...

Thanks Woody, that’s spot on mate, that’s what we got Appreciate all the helpful advice!

Thanks mate, turns out they brought in an structural engineer who works with them and he advised the horizontal beams could come out and the vertical one closest to the chimney breast. Nothing else was allowed to come out though. Thanks for everyone’s help and advice!

Thanks catlad, it is a 1950’s build that’s correct.

Thanks for the replies chaps!

Thanks Woody, do you think they can be removed? The guys coming seem to think they can be!

Thank you buddy for you’re reply. Makes sense what you are saying! That’s why I put photos up because when I was looking online there were just so many variables I thought my plainsman lingo wouldn’t help so pictures should hopefully make sense of what I was trying to say! That’s goods news...

Hi all, Novice here, having my loft kitted out into a reasonable storage space/work from home space and guys that are doing some of the works say the horizontal beams can definitely come out. They’ve been up there already and shook them around and shown me how loose they are, they wobble quite...
