Hi chaps,
noticing some with knowledge of build work on pfm- if I could ask on here:
I have an 80's single story extension (onto my 2 story cottage), comprising of a kitchen + tiny bathroom. Pitched roof ontop. Loft between.
I have the idea of extending up, to convert the loft space above kitchen (5x5m) into a proper-sized bathroom, & landing/ stairwell above the existing tiny WC. Effectively the pitched roof goes back ontop.
What I find, poking my head thru kitchen ceiling hatch, are ceiling joists built of 3x2". This guage seems normal for ceilings, with a loft space being above, as I also find 3x2 used for another 2022 extension ceiling (loft above).
Q is.. Are 3x2 joists sufficient for the floor, for the proposed bathroom above the kitchen-?
Thanks, Capt
