ATTIC BEAMS GIVE YOU THE SOLUTION
Solutions
Alternatively, you can use smaller steel sections which are fixed back to the sides of the existing trusses to strengthen each truss individually, up until now this option has also been extremely expensive as only one company in the UK provide this type of steelwork – up until now that is.
At Attic Beams, it's time to get the strength and support you need
You would traditionally use large steel beams which require manpower and large cranes on site to create a support frame you can span timbers onto, these large steel beams are often hidden in the eaves area behind the perimeter attic walls, they’re heavy and difficult to get into the attic space, and are also very costly.
Make Your Attic Safer with Attic Beams
Not all attic space can be strengthened using timber alone, many, especially modern houses cannot due to the lack of load-bearing walls below the attic floor to split the floor span. This results in long spans which timber just cannot accommodate.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Projects
If you are a Contractor, Engineer, or Architect, then our Attic Beams will help you quickly get a strengthened attic floor without the limitations and high costs. Maybe you've tried using timber alone to strengthen the existing structure, but not all attics can be converted that way. Or maybe you found that the steel strengthening beams required were prohibitively costly. It's frustrating, isn't it? Or maybe you've even experienced long lead times to get steelwork on-site, causing significant delays in your project. And look, I get it, it's not fair. The truth is, you're not alone. It seems most Contractors, Engineers, and Architects are becoming victims of the high cost of strengthening steelwork, making their projects unviable. That feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward is overwhelming.

A new way that means you can avoid the limitations of timber and the high costs of the usual steelwork solution. Ultimately, it offers you a chance to finally achieve the attic floor strength you desire and move forward with your project.
