loft flooring

Jan 09, 2009 1 Replies

Hi I'm flooring part of my loft with tongue and groove chipboard sheet



2400x600. The house is about 6 years old with concrete block wall and wooden ceiling joists.

There is a place where a conc wall protrudes above the level of the ceiling of the joists. It runs in line with the joists and the bottom of the blocks is just above the ceiling/plasterboard level, so it doesn't seem to serve any purpose.



There is also a place where a short steel beam bridges a corridor underneath. There is a row of conc blocks mortared on top of it which are already loose and seem to serve no purpose either.



Can I just remove them, so I can run the flooring right across the top or are they important for some reason?



(I noticed a place where a few have been removed for an expansion tank platform )



Thanks for any advice.

I can sort of follow this, but some photos would be good - any chance?

Cheers
