At present i cannot afford to get a full conversion as a start i want to board my loft properly.( victorian terrace 3 rooms per floor) Having read on here and elsewhere i know i do not need planning but will need building regs i will am planning to fit dormer at rear of property and 2 velux to the front.
1 how do i fit/replace floor beam do can i bolt the 7x3 or 8x2 to the current beams fitted from outside wall to center wall as current beams.
2 can to floor the be fitted directly to these new beams or will addition noggins be needed. fitting extra insulation
3 I will tidy up the wiring (usually loft rats nest) i understand that i will not need sparky certificate
4 can i fit a ring main myself providing it is to current regs then get it checked or will a sparky need to complete all the electric work.
5 is the any restrictions on angle off stairs (screwfix have very steep set) with space at a premium what to keep as much as possible
thanks for any help clearing up above stuart
