muffin12 Â Â 10 #1 Posted January 10, 2012 My bathroom is currently downstairs as part of a single storey extension. I am wanting to put the bathroom upstairs but do not want to make either of the two bedrooms smaller and thought about extending above the existing single storey. How do I find out if this is strong enough to hold? Will there be paper work somewhere when the extension was done. I am not in a position to dig the ground out to look at foundations.

Africanqueen   10 #2 Posted January 10, 2012 Why don't you get some quotes from builders? They would tell you what work was involved including planning applications etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
loopyloo2000 Â Â 10 #3 Posted January 10, 2012 It's all about the depth of the footings that the single story extension was built on and if it'll be strong enough to support the weight of a further story. I believe it's possible to use vertical steel ibeams to support it rather than demolishing the existing extension and starting again with deeper foundations. You can tell I've got a builder in the family! Get a buildings surveyor round and he'll advise, it won't be that expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
