Hi guys I'm doing my own loft conversion, I have full plans passed and the steels arrived yesterday, I have 1 going into a spreader plate in a party wall and resting on a padstone the other end, another 1 on a spreader plate in the party wall which is bolted together to the 3rd beam , this join sits on a padstone, and the end of the 3rd sits on a padstone too.
I was wondering how the spreader plates are attached to the hole i made in the gable ends please? Do they just sit on a bed of cement? And does the steel just sit on top of the spreader plates and padstones?
Thanks
