Hi,
Currently building a rear extension on a bungalow. In previous builds I have rested ceiling joists on wall plate, however I have discovered the wall plate is far too high on this property and would result in a very high odd looking extension due to the existing hip roof.
What are my options to met regs?
Can I fix 8x2 horizontal along facing brick and hang joists from hangers? I have done this before on a house extension, pitched roof, but never a bungalow. I am concerned I would only be fixing to the top of the existing wall.
