Steel beams being fitted in a modern truss loft conversion in Sheffield

Modern truss loft conversion in Sheffield

In modern built houses the loft is full of W shaped roof trusses that need to be removed to enable the loft space to be opened up. However the W shaped trusses are holding up the entire roof structure as well as the ceilings at 1st floor level.

So if we remove these W shaped truss whats holding the roof and ceilings up ?

We have to put the strength back into the roof by installing individual designed steel beams. These beams are uniquely designed by our own structural engineer and comply to the most stringent building regulations.

Its essential that before any works commences in a loft conversion you have structural engineers calculations and building regulations approval.

The image above shows our team of highly skilled steel fitters installing the steel beams in a loft conversion in Lodge Moor, Sheffield.
