Loft floor disaster-please help!

[Lee27]

Firstly,id like to say hi

I have often dreamt of converting my loft to another room-mainly for something i collect which needs space

I spent the last few weeks clearing the loft,and it had recently been re-insulated.

Anyway,i got up there and started work.The floor was my first task so i started on that.I removed any insulation above the joists so that i could lay boards on them without any trouble.I then started to fix the B and Q loft floor panels to the floor and the first line turned out ok,but to my horror the middle of the floor is really uneven and it looks quite horrific.There was a small bit of variation to start with but to be honest,i am going to unscrew all the boards and monday and get some advice here before i proceed any further.

I think that the joists are uneven,and that there is no chance in hell i will get a level floor on them.What can i do to sought this out and has anyone else had the same problem.

if i had to pay someone to come in to redo the joists,what would it cost me? Im in a 3 bedroomed semi detached in luton.

Any help os appreciated very much.

Thanks

Lee

i assume your after light storage off things like xmass decorations!!

if you are after a conversion you need to comply with building regulations
and iff your timbers are less than around 8"x2"[200x50mm] at 400m /16" centres they need beefing up
