Hi,
I have a 1950’s semi, with a generous loft approx 6m long.
There is 3 supports on the loft, which I believe are either called Rafter or Collar ties which divide the loft into quarters. The one in the middle is around 3ft height, which results in an awkward limbo or high jump. If I could just remove that I could get to probably 75% of the loft without any acrobatics.
Not expecting anybody to give exact structural calcs, but would anybody be able to say if possible to remove, and what kind of solution / cost would be involved?
Thanks!
