How to strenght the roof construction?

Hello

I am in the process to purchase the loft from Southwark Council. I have been told the technical officer during the inspection must be sure the sky windows will not weak the roof construction..

Any ideas please how to persuade him?

What to do?

Many thanks in advance

Margaret

When we do a loft conversion with velux windows we register structural calculations with southwark that show roof timber sizes. We also accompany the calculations with structural plans. This may seem unneccessary if you aren't doing any further works but it will satisfy them.

    • Hopefully their customer service has improved then, as I've had several bad experiences over the years (despite their good reputation!)
    • Many people have artificial trees, some people have real trees in pots which they keep from year to year, and some people don't have a tree at all, so the fact that there are fewer trees on the streets than houses doesn't necessarily mean that "the majority of people dispose of theirs responsibly"! Does the council not publicise their requirements anywhere other than on  their website? I never  have a cut tree, but if I did have, I would assume that the council collected them, particularly seeing other trees on the pavement. So I don't think it's necessarily the case that people are being selfish or unneighbourly, though as with anything, some might be. They just may not know that if they don't have a brown garden waste bin, they have to contact the council to arrange collection.
    • A sharps disposal container has been left outside  our house near goose green.   If you or a friend is missing one PM me for exact address. Presumably a contractor collects a full on and delivers replacements.  Better than a keysafe you didnt order!!
    • I would like to recommend Robert Mills, he came to sort out our central heating last week.  He is punctual, clear about what needs doing and gets on with it very efficiently.  His contact details are 07952 584171.  Thanks for giving us back a warm house Robert!
