Hi,
I was taking into consideration to remove my chimney breast and an engineer advised to run a beam between the front and rear wall.
After my survey, I got to the conclusion that I could run a 152x89 without lowering the ceiling at first floor but this can happen only If I can cut some joist as per the attached photos.
Can you also advise why I have cross trusses and if those can be cut or are part of the structure roof?
Maybe the photo will clarify what I'm trying to say as 2 of these have already been cut in the past and do not reach the other end.
Any help would be appreciated
