Fixing a miss-drilled beam

[SteveBz]

I'm building a flat-roof extension on my house and I've got a guy helping me. Sadly he's miss-drilled the holes in the joists right next to the wall (within 70 mm) instead of .25 - .4 of the beam length. Actually, it looks very nice, but not in line with BRs. If we move the wiring (and pipes actually) to be in line with BR, how should I patch the holes? Can I put a steel plate over them? What to do.

Steve.

Hi Guys,

Thanks so much for your input.

The engineer inspected it yesterday. He felt there was no problem. The joists are short enough for it not to affect it and he's going to write a note to BC saying so.

Thanks again,

Regards

Steve

At last some one with common sense.

Maybe the OP should ask the engineer to join the forum..........

Plumber went in too deep through a few joists........ so make sure your liability insurance is paid up.........

Hubble Bubble, Toil and Rubble. someone should have told Wally the window fitter to fit catnics.

agreeee. if a hot tub was going on the roof with Vanessa Feltz in it, I'd be concerned. otherwise, just crack on.

Is this one of your little fantasy's Tel?

That looks like a builder/developer error...the plumber might have dipped the ceiling,but it looks suspiciously like some other hero,finished it off

I have seen the exact same scenario,where some yuppie hero,dropped the front,to replace stone work,and thought the joists running across the front,would mean less propping...

Think I might of drilled into one of those composite 'I' beam joists today, putting up my Next luminaire in my new build today

Catnic?
Crikey!
Haven't heard that term for a while...
Not since I last told a client he needed to replace his Bessemer beam...
which wasn't a popular comment!

Do you mean a Bresummer Beam?

You've done your monthly rum quota in one day again haven't you, you naughty Pirate......

Bresummer beam!
Sorry...and me the total pedantic too!
Too much rum, for sure...
Anyway, he threw a whole load of magnolia paint at it, listed it through another agent...
and 2 years later the house still hadn't sold cos the surveyors weren't fooled.
Finally, I visited it again, and the master bedroom had fallen into the living-room!
How I laughed...as I walked away...
All those fancy chrome sockets didn't do the trick...
The fancy new kitchen was a waste of money too, cos the units had sagged several centimetres due to the floor joists sagging...
You won't be surprised to learn that the fuseboard hadn't been upgraded...
