Hi all,
I have just had a look into my loftspace as I'm interested in turning it into some sort of computer\play area. I'm not talking about habitable at this point just simple flooring etc.
You will see from the photo that there are trusses which in their current position render the space quite useless. The property is a council semi, quite solid, probably built 40s\50s.
Questions are as follows.
1) Difficulty level (1 (low) - 10 (tricky)) in repositioning trusses to allow workable space2) Position trusses would have to be placed if moved? e.g. vertical near the edges or horizontally near the roof apex
3) Cost of having someone in to do only that (I would do flooring etc myself)4) Time to complete?
5) Is this a fairly common job in the trade?I am aware that before doing anything I would need to contact the local authority - this is just to give me an idea.

Thanks in advance
