Morning everyone,
Have been receiving mixed guidance on this topic so would like a more holistic opinion please.
Two, Grade 2 listed stone houses, joined together as an entrance hall by what used to be a stone built cattle shed. This space is 5m x 3.5 metres. I have had listed and planning approval to vault this ceiling, which I would like to do using timber beams in the apex. I have been informed through contractor these would need to be steel if over 4 metres though? Could I gauge a general consensus on this please as it's non load bearing (was single storey shed) and cost wise makes such a huge difference between the tow would like to know more before tearing ceiling down!
Thank you!
