Hello all.
I have already spoke to a guy who specialises in loft conversions, but I'd appreciate a second opinion.
Having just had my roof completely re-tiled, I'm going to have the loft boarded out etc. However there is a supporting wall, which the main joists sit on. This wall separates the loft in half, making it difficult to access one half.
The guy I have spoken with advises that all the weight from the roof is downwards and that a section of brick work could be safely removed to create a walkway.
The concerns I have is that the roof may concertina inwards. After all why would they build a complete wall if not required?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
