Hi all,
I am about to build a loft conversion on my house.
Doing all the work myself as on a v.tight budget!
Structural engineer has shown a requirement for 2 flitch beams.
one for the ridge beam and one to support new joists.
Any ideas on costs?
The specs are:-
4000x175x8mm x2
thanks in advance :beer:

WADR why ask here?, ask the suppliers of these comp beams.;)I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -
Just contact your local steel stockholders to get quotes for the steel plates, don't forget to get them to drill the holes for the bolts. As a very very rough guesstimate I'd say £150 to £200 max.
As for the timber just contact your local builders merchant or timber merchant with the sizes.
You could assemble them yourself with reasonable DIY skills.
Good Luck0
