Hi there i'm a newbie to this site so first of all hi i am about to start out on a loft conversion but am told that my existing joists (3x1 or something like that) are to small and will not take the weight so i have been told about 'cross-beeming' which from what i can gather is laying new joist on top of original joist but it opposite direction then attaching them into a new wall plate which you have to put in also i think i have explained this correctly can anybody tell if this is correct and if it is a safe way to do the job as i dont want the whole flaming loft to come down
Cheers
Matt
P.s hi again
