sounds good to me@jasonkaraokeman . i widened my loft hatch some time ago to accomodate a pull down step system, so sounds like i should be able to get mine through there............how did you get round the probem of height differece for the stair trimmers? did you have to pack any of them or is the difference too small to bother with?..............hanks for your imput too badbonty , i really do appreciate any imput and hope to be able to contibute myself once mine gets underway, cheers guys
top man, that seems more than reasonable..........i looked on their website and it says to remove bottom 3 rows of tiles.........did you have to do that or was there enough room to insert the outriggers and extend them in the roof space.....also have you got any advice or come across any snags while doing it..any help you can give would be much appreciated, cheers , wayne
I've about finished my bungalow loft conversion now, and I didnt fancy taking 3 rows of tiles off, so i removed the guttering and facias and then the beams and outriggers slid in on their side then i justy replaced the fascias afterwards, was much simpler for me cos didnt need scaffolding at all :) if you need any more info, im more than happy to help, it certainly is a fa system.
@waynelufc1 i actually got them up thru the loft hatch! would you believe it! it was hard work but like you said , it saved getting scaffold up. The only snag i came across it that the side of the beams have grooves in them, this made it impossible for them to be perfect heigh when side by side (for the doubling up around the stairs)
@waynelufc1 i think it was around the 4000 pounds mark, plus a 1000 for drawings to be sent to building control, although you dont really need it as it pre- approved, the guy who comes rounds measures up anyway regardless and i really think he would've thrown in the drawings to get a sale,
i'm doing this - just wondered how you went abt wire the existing electric cables - did you notch out the ceilign rafters or extend them, it looks like they feed under the Telebeams?
dude, buy a sawzall!

the wall plate packer you used - did you have to use C16 or just sawn/planed timber?

@badbonty
just plain sawn for the packer, c16 everything else, collars etc

I have never seen those tele beams before,Did you have to install a purling half way up the rafters to increase the support of the roof.
