Hi,
I am looking into boarding out my loft to gain extra space, but do no need to go as far as creating an extra full time liveable room, i probably not going to have a fixed staircase. my problem is tha running across in the opposite direction to the ceiling joists are tw
8"x2" timbers, so do i need to raise the new loft floor to this leve ?? and i have also read in our councils building control guide that new loft floor cannot rest on the ceiling joists so someonre ha suggested i use joist hangers from the 8"x2" timber to create a ne independent floor, any help on this matter and any other tips for m project would be appreciated. Thanks for reading this post-- Bear
