Im ment to be having a loft conversion and my loft is like this one and the builders are telling me dont need steel? But its been 3 months now and ive not even so much as seen the plans and they said if we did need steel beams the roof would need to be removed to get them in whicb would be an extra £15,000! I dont have that! I wont say what they quoted me but we are on a very tight budget as its to make an extra room so my autistic son has his own room and its took me saving up for the last 15 years just to get this together as we were originally saving for a deposit to buy a house. Thats impossible now but the housing associating we rent from said so long as all building regulations are met and the work is passed by one of their inspectors we have permission to have the work done.
What type of loft do you have, is it a truss one like in this video? And what are the dimensions?
I have a truss roof new build. Do i need steel?
In Most case yes. But not always depending on size and type of conversions.
Best to speak to a local structural engineer 🙏🏼
Ya don't need steel. Cost a fortune. Cranes, scaffolding etc. Like come on.
Man power mate, not cranes
I shifted sime big ridge steals up to @ loft, 3 or 4 men, the floor beam for joist and a jackwall, chimney breast beams,n changing lintels on the second floor
