Hi,
I've searched and read as much as I can on this subject but still unsure what the best method would be for strengthening my loft floor and increasing it's depth for insulation, before boarding.
Here is a rough 3d plan of whats going on up there. All the walls are of solid brick construction. The binders are 6x2's embedded into the external walls and crossed over on internal walls. Ceiling joists are 3x2's.
I want to board the middle of the loft in-between the binders. It will be used for storage and accessed with a ladder. If however my configuration would allow me to get a proper floor up there relatively easy this would be an added bonus.
I'm limited to lengths of wood I can get up there via the hatch, probably 4m at most.
I would be very grateful for any advice on the best, easiest and cheapest way to achieve this. Many thanks!
