What can you see on the outside of the building, exactly in line with this at both ends?

Yes, it does look like a tie bar.

tie bar.

I honestly couldn't remember what it was called when I wrote that!
I've just been googling for it myself!!

Thank you. There's an end to it on the exterior of the wall, was always unsure what that was.

Problem is I need to replace the floorboard under it now.

Mluk, good evening.

Suggest you leave it well alone, it was installed for a reason?

As for the flooring "under it" can I suggest that you create a small timber boxed in area around the tie bar??

Yeah I have no intention of moving the tie bar, it runs under my bath and the floorboard its above rotted due to a leak so it needs replacing
