I've got a sagging joist (3 " x 4 " x 3.4m) above a bay window. I've only got about 3 1/2 inch drop before the top of the window so I can't get an rsj underneath for support. Any suggestions please with regards to what I can use to support the existing joist without complete replacement?

I have exactly the same problem - but was advised by a structural engineer to just leave it because the joist is sound.
Interested to hear what you do about this.

Before we we bought the house there had been water getting in from a blocked gutter/down pipe which has resulted in a bit if rot to one end if the joist so it definitely needs some attention - the question is how much? I would be interested to know how much it cost to get the structural engineer out? Images are now available -
