Cracking vid. Doing my loft next year and the roof looks the exact same. Might be a silly question but Are the floor timbers sat on the wall or tide into the roof timbers?

Now this.. this is what I need to get in touch about. This is exactly what I want doing. Awesome job. That trip to the North East will have to become a 2024 must

I’m happy to quote for you Chris

[@Chris-yj1zg]

Will drop you an email 👍🏽 Nice save at 4:16 🤣🤣

[@jamesgrech6278]

Hello this may seem like a stupid question so sorry if it is. How it the main beam fixed. Is it into the wall or resting on the ceiling joists and if so is there a supporting wall underneath. Love all your videos, you guys absolutely smash it.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid thanks lee

[@PeterSmith-kj1vr]

Super video. Clear and to the point! How much for this exact job same type of roof and similar size?

Looks incredible, what were those things flying around? Was that a bunch of flies or bits of insulation?

Rob I've been following you on here what seems like forever anyway I'm a roofer by trade 34 years and am having next week off to do my loft storage and this is exactly how I'm doing it hope it all goes well keep up the good work love ya vids

[@builditwithrob]

Thanks bud I’m sure you will do a top job

[@July-A7]

If it's for storage only will you still need building control?

[@TheBlockUniverse]

Wonderful work Rob! Is the additional support added by screwing a new timber to the rafters enough to stop them from sagging, or is the stud wall adding support as well?

[@builditwithrob]

Hello 👋 it’s both combined that gives the strength required

[@phoenixrises5169]

Great video! Do you do this as a business? Would love to have my loft done!

[@lessurtees7234]

Great Job. What would a job like that cost if you dont mind me asking, just as a guide, Thanks.

[@niallmurphy7682]

Top job I've never seen a treble beam used like that before I done over 100 attics in Dublin we use rsj,s I love your metal frame attics I don't think anybody is doing them in Dublin could you supply them to Ireland?

[@robhargreaves73]

Hi, this is exactly what I want to have done to my semi detached loft, roughly how much should I be paying for such a service as I don't wanna have my pants pulled down from local builders..., thanks

[@rickellis1942]

How much does a job like that cost ? looking to get a ballpark idea…thanks

[@SevyShasha]

What is the best way to handle all the dust and particles in the air? HEPA filter fan to eat the dust? Hoover nozzle in the air for 24 hours with a fan circulating air?

[@3dWargamer]

quick question do these planning permission ect if for example you put a model railway up there? the rooms not being used to sleep or live in

[@builditwithrob]

Hello friend if you spend time in a room they class it as habitable space, if you was storing a railway up there and just looking at it now and again it would be fine

[@THEHANDICAPPERSGOLFWORLD-jd4lh]

Will this work on standard 3 bed semi detached house.

[@fencer39]

Hi Rob. The Triple beam is sitting on the load bearing wall beneath ?

[@builditwithrob]

It sure was bud

[@philwalker257]

How much for the structure was that please I am aware prices differ but looking for something similar and my loft looks like that. Thankyou 👍🏽

[@paddy202]

Habitable room no fire escape? Timbers not sitting on plate?

[@Elfin4]

Can you explain how removal of the original lateral ties, then doubling up the joists restores lateral restraint?

[@builditwithrob]

Hello I’m sorry I can’t I don’t fully understand the stresses and loads, I follow the engineers plans and calcs

[@Elfin4]

@@builditwithrob I will try and explain my concerns - If you remove the horizontal tie beam/member then double up the common rafters but don't reintroduce some bracing to stop the roof spreading the loads are still being transferred down towards the eaves which may start to spread outwards if the rafters are not braced laterally across the width of the roof which was the purpose of the original tie beams. I just don't understand how doubling up the common rafters does anything unless you want to increase the loads by putting heavier tiles on the roof. Perhaps you can get your engineer to comment here or if there are any engineers who can tell us what's going on and how this works from a structural view as I would really like to understand.

Hi Rob Just interested weather you would do a loft in Farnborough Hampshire or is that a bit far

Hello mark your not too far I’m willing to travel

[@lorenzolbh8476]

Where does the triple beam sit? In the wall end to end or on top of joistsc

[@builditwithrob]

It sits on top of solid wall below

[@kevindavey9128]

Why did you insulate between the floor joists I would have thought no insulation would have allowed the heat to help heat the space. Will you be installing metal joists and rafters as you did in your old job going forward, that looked a great system

[@shaneezmalik6365]

How much will something like this cost roughly?

[@robertcant3187]

What’s roughly the cost of job, as I’m thinking of having it done next year

[@builditwithrob]

Hello Robert The cost was £11,800 I believe

[@blahblahblah742]

Not much headroom coming thru that hatch Rob 🤔

There really wasn’t bit close for my liking

Not faulting the work by the way just seems a grey area

[@pauljackson8772]

Pity they didn’t extend the hipped end into a gable. It would have given them much more room and an easier access.

[@builditwithrob]

It would have made so much more space

[@JohnnyMotel99]

Even a simple dormer over the loft access would help.

[@paddy202]

Is this even legal???
