Hello all, I was in the loft yesterday and looking to clear it out for better storage.
It has two collar ties that I presume are quite important but is there any way to remove them safely?. Are they to stop the roof spreading?.
I've read it may be possible to triangulate the rafters at the top with strong ply triangles?.
There's double rafters with the collar tie on the middle, one tie either side of the loft.
The roof itself and felt are in good condition and bone dry so if it will cause any issues I'll just leave well alone!.
Thanks for any input.
