replacing floor joists

I have rotten floor joists and need to replace them, there is a wall plate in the brickwork (victorian property ) this is also bowed and rotten, can I remove the wall plate altogether and rest the new joists straight on the brickwork?

duel gas boilers

I am renovating an old victorian property, I require 139,000 Btu's just for the heating, so my plan was to use 2 boilers 1 for upstairs 1 for downstairs, I was hoping to use combi's to save having tanks etc, will the incoming gas supply cope with 2 boilers?
