The first structural repair we had to sort out in our Whitby cottage was a couple of ceiling beams \/ floor joists. \u00a0The ends had rotted away where they sit in the wall. The damp that caused the rot has been\u00a0temporarily fixed (see the pan tile roof repairs article), a more permenant fix of a total re-roof is in hand.<\/p>\n

The damage however had already\u00a0occurred\u00a0due to poor\u00a0maintenance\u00a0in the past. \u00a0So a fix for the rotten beam \/ joist ends was needed. I did a quick evaluation of the more common techniques used to fix joist \u00a0ends. \u00a0 \u00a0However I came up with a different way of \u00a0fixing the joists that is easier for me and more suitable for our particular problem.<\/p>\n

I have made a comparison of the more common fixes for beam ends<\/a>\u00a0over on the main iDoStuff site.<\/p>\n

The repair technique for rotten joist ends<\/a> that I came up with is detailed with photographs also on the main site<\/p>\n

If you find this information useful or interesting please let me know by leaving a comment below. \u00a0Questions or even criticisms are also welcome. Thanks.<\/p>\n
