    Love this series. Shown me how I need to do my loft conversion. Has your structural engineer done the calcs for this and the loadbearing walls below? Is the building inspector happy with this method? Thanks, Ad

    • @POUSEaroundtheHOUSE
      @POUSEaroundtheHOUSE  3 года назад +1

      Yes structural engineer did calcs and yes inspector was happy. BUT....every house is different and may not be suitable for this method. Often steel beams are required or another great system is ECO Loft which if you search Build it with Rob, he has done some great videos installing that system and fair play it looks great, and it's fast but probably costs a bit!

    Great video what size joist are recommended when you do loft conversion?

    • @POUSEaroundtheHOUSE
      @POUSEaroundtheHOUSE  6 лет назад

      Hi, he joist size is determined by a qualified structural engineer. They calculate the loads that the floor will take and that combined with the span of the joists, how many walls support the joists etc, they can work out what size joists are required. In my case I could have gone thinner and taller but I needed more head room so opted for thicker shorter joists that provided the same structural support. So to answer your question there is no one recommendation, it is specific to your property. Thanks for watching.

    So did u put packers on all sections of joist, ie 1 resting on outer wall, one on middle load bearing wall and another in the other end of outer wall? So then it's raised and level across.

    • @POUSEaroundtheHOUSE
      @POUSEaroundtheHOUSE  6 лет назад

      Yes, it turned out all my wall plates were level give or take a few mm so I used 18mm plywood packers under the end of each joist. This gave me clearance over the lath below. But bear in mind I removed a lot of lime mortar in the first video. Without removing that I would have needed a lot more clearance. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

      POUSE around the HOUSE I thought as much. I really enjoy what u do, it's great to see how u tackle the job yourself. Well done.I am looking to build my own side and rear extension and loft with a rear dormer. The roof is currently hip roof which I want to make into a gable roof. Can I just ask I didn't know that you could use thicker timbers replacing the old RSJ. So does the building reg allow that. Ofcourse it will be much cheaper and efficient for me also save thousands. Any advice for me.

    • @POUSEaroundtheHOUSE
      @POUSEaroundtheHOUSE  4 года назад

      175mm x 75mm. Hope that helps. Obvioysly the joists you require depends on the span. I could have gone thinner and taller but I wanted extra headroom.

    Did you have to get an engineer involved and/or submit drawings to your local building control for this?

    • @NathanSouthward
      @NathanSouthward 6 лет назад +2

      In the UK loft conversions don't 'usually' require planning permission. That being said, since the roof is being altered specific regulations have to be met in regards to height, width, style, etc. It's also advisable to get a builder, architect or chartered engineer to have a look and talk you through any building regulations and safety requirements that need to be met.

    • @POUSEaroundtheHOUSE
      @POUSEaroundtheHOUSE  6 лет назад +1

      BMJT - You need a structural engineer to design and calculate anything structural or load bearing. You need to apply to building control in local authority, with a fee and they inspect the work. You may also require planning permission although my conversion comes under permissive development. You may wish to employ an architect but I designed mine myself. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

  • @phillavender3500
    @phillavender3500 3 года назад

    At each end of the joist underneath the chimney, there is a gap of around 50-100mm what is this for.
    Also have you screwed the new joists to the old ones or left them?
