  • I'll have to check my professional indemnity for internet advises! But seriously my answer was based around you should have it checked out.

    On the other hand it could be this building is much older than the minimum spec builds we have going on today, so sticking some osb t&g in there and screwing it to the joists then loading it with possessions you don't need around has been going on for decades. In fact a lot of people load them up with just a few boards around creating a concentrated load without a huge problem.

    Thanks for the BS information and I was wrong on the difference in size being negligible in that case.

  • There are some brilliant horror/WTF things I have seen in lofts. Should see what happens when roof tiles are replaced from slate to concrete tiles. That extra weight does some odd things to the roof trusses.

    Also look at the building is either brick or timber framed.
