Advice on removing wall

I'm not sure yet. I need to speak to them and tell them where the calcs came from, I was at work when they came and my missus handed him the calcs without knowing where they came from.


£180 seems a bit cheap. I bought a 3.5mtr 203x102 beam and 2 440x215 padstones and that cost me £190 doing it myself. Mine was easier because the joists in the room to the right ran the opposite way to those in the room to the left.

Edit: that £190 had a second beam included, a 2mtr 203x102 that I never used.

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
 
If your missus frets, just make her stand under it while you bolt it up ;)

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 ?

The online calculator.

I but in that it was supporting:

2.15mtrs of timber floor and plasterboard ceiling.
A 2.4mtr tall block wall.
A point load from a second RSJ in the loft.
A point load from a post under the purlin (which is only temporary but added it on anyway).

Then it gave me a list and I chose one closest to the size of my joists.




Although having said that, if I need an SE it was a waste of £30 for the online service. It's been in there fully loaded since June. Daft thing is, the wall we removed didn't quite touch the joists anyway!!!
