I know this has been asked a thousand and one times before...
I've been asked to level an upstairs floor thats about and inch and a bit out of level diagonally across the floor.
There are no obvious reasons why it is out of level it would just appear to be movement as it is an old pit house.
I'm obviously looking for cost vs labour in methods to do this job.
I was thinking of sistering the original 9 x 2 joists with 4 or 6 x 2 and coach bolting every 400 centers.
As doing this either end will not be supported, is this ok? Are there any regs relating to this method?
thanks.
