Removing part of a wall next to a steel

[muv]

Can anyone help with this?

This is in my garage with a bedroom above to the left of the steels.

To the right of the steels, with the loft insulation, is a flat felt roof that is being removed that extends a further 4m

We are having a replacement solid conservatory roof that will extend over the garage replacing the felt roof too but the new roof pitch requires the 5 courses removing.

The right steel supports the external wall upstairs but I need to remove the brickwork shaded red only does this leave a sufficient amount of brickwork for the steel to remain sitting on?

Any input would be greatly recieved.

Is the steel sitting on that wall? Don't see a padstone.

Yes, straight onto the wall...1970's house with the block work being those black clinkers on the steel. Would it not need a padstone as they are lightweight? No idea...I'm a sparky not a builder and this was uncovered yesterday when an asbestos ceiling was removed and now giving me grief with the new roof

What is further down directly beneath the steels? Can you show an image please?

Sure...you can just see the steels at the top

Assuming the steels are only spanning a garage width (2.5m?) they won't be heavily-loaded and cutting away the 5 layers won't be an issue.

Is that cavity wall construction, I.e. the wall facing us and bearing the steels?

Yes that's a cavity wall, squeezed my hand in there and the steel finishes flush with the brickwork on show and not protruding into the cavity

And another angle from outside, the wall with the red cross is the one above the steels. I need to remove the 5 courses all around the flat roof.

I need to remove the 5 courses all around the flat roof.

I'd be ok with that

Cheers, just had a thought that the roof people will sign it off with building regs so may send them some images to actually see if he will with those courses removed so near the steel.

Thanks for the input
