Hi chaps,
Just been to quote to put in a stud wall in a bedroom, no problem i thinks.
get there and she says 'AND we would like the ceiling in the bedroom completely removing and the underside of the roof plasterboarding giving us a nice high ceiling'
so from my limited understanding, the joists need to come out and the roof timbers need supporting structurally in some way to save the roof turning inside out and ending up in the bedroom.
should BC be involved first? it's an old building, victorian if not older and probably listed to some degree (she said they've just got planning to put in a small en-suite), the roof and it's timbers are quite/very new, look brand new so the whole lot has been replaced just before they moved in a few years ago.
HELP PLEEEEEEEASE! just need to know my next move.
THX in advance
