Whilst contemplating upgrading loft insulation on my 1960's bungalow, I encountered the usual problems of inspection access (for roof leaks, vermin, electrical junctions, water pipes etc) to a space with joist depths of a mere 100mm.
Like a few others, I decided it would be best to have some kind of "walkway" (perhaps ~3ft wide). Because of the depth of joists I would prefer if this "floated" above said joist and had bearings only upon internal / external load bearing walls (ie boarding sat atop beams sized according to TRADA guidance for floors).
Obviously access will be only ~ four times a year (to adjust CH pressure & put the Xmas tree baubles up / down).
Would this structure require PP or fall under BRegs?
Thanks in advance.
