Hi, I am refurbishing my loft and I believe I need to strengthen the joists before I put t&g chipboard flooring down. The open space will be used as a kids tv area and a bit of storage, so nothing heavy duty.
As you can see from the attached pics, there are 4 x 2 binders laying across the 4 x 2 joists (i incorrectly called them 'floor beams' on the attached pics!).
I am meeting the carpenter next week and I would love to have an idea of the correct way to do this before I meet him.
Could anyone possibly advise me what the best way would be to strengthen the joists?
Thanks, Nicky.
