I need to put down some flooring in my loft, is this just a simple case of laying chipboard across the joists ?

I'm no tradesman, so bear with me:
What size are the timbers - are you meaning the joists that go along the floor/ceiling ?
At what centres - Dont know if its 400mm or 600mm
what is the unsupported span underneath - do you mean the ceilings in the rooms underneath ?

well measure it then!
timbers size is the things that hold the ceiling up
unsupported span is the distance they run between supporting walls.
Also is it a fairly modern house with timbers arranged in a W shape
A photo or two would help a lot
