but am pretty sure my 1872 joists can't handle the weight.
Not a structural engineer or anything, but would they not be oak and pretty strong?
A hardboard floor should help to distribute the weight. But if you know where you want the turbo to go, you could just reinforce that area.

The recommendation I had from a loft company was a max 25kg/sqm. I'd definitely be dubious about a turbo. Also the vibrations causing cracking in the ceiling

A turbo, with a bike and rider atop, is a quite unique* live load. I wouldn't recommend a cheap solution, to be honest.
*I know, something's either unique or not. You get what I mean.

I want to put my turbo in the loft but am pretty sure my 1872 joists can't handle the weight. Can anyone recommend a cheap solution to making the floor stronger.
