loft conversion

[aftermath]

Because you have the secure walls to fix the brackets too for the beams, back to front ( where do you fix the brackets ) has to be screwed wall to wall if possible.

i am not saying it wont work ( as it might m8) even if you lay the new joists directly on the existing ones, ( but i would run the new joists in the opposite direction to the existing ones. )

i also have bein intrested in sortin the loft out,what you reccomend the spacing to be on the new joists ie how far apart from each other?

 

[aftermath]

Loft boards are sold in 18" width`s, so put the beams 18" apart, sure thats what i did.

i laid my flooring in the loft accross the beams rather in the direction of the beams for more support.

depends how big the loft conversion is, what the include in the price and the quality of workmanship. some are cheap for a reason mate. get 3 quotes and go for thr middle priced one.
