Hi, hope someone can help,
I'm renovating a property built in 1896, in one of the rooms (first floor) the floor has sagged by over 40mm over a 4.7 metre span,
the joist sizes are 175mm X 63mm.
I will be boarding and plastering onto these joists (ceiling), also the staircase to the second floor rests on these same joists and the stairs slope from left to right by about 10mm.
I was wondering what my options were,
Was thinking,
1) remove and replace joists to the current regs,
2) screw timber along the joists to give me a straight edge for the flooring and ceiling,
3) leave it as it is
Thanks for any help
