Structural load beams on a timber frame Information and advice on lofts and loft conversions. Find solutions and post your questions here...

[Rbanksy]

I have a detached timber frame house with a single skin of bricks.

I am getting conflicting quotes and advise on the load requirements.

Half of conversion companies tell me telebeam is the only way to go and half of companies tell me steel is no problem at all.

Telebeam is expensive.

Does anyone know what would work and what the catches are?

Hi rbanksy
Suggest you try a flitch beam but you will need to have load calculations.
