“Ah yes… another ‘pretty common’ structural truss modification to squeeze a fireplace flue through. 😅

Unfortunately, cutting structural roof trusses is never a DIY solution and can significantly compromise the roof’s structural integrity if not designed and approved correctly.

Just because it’s ‘common’ doesn’t mean it’s right. If you’re installing a fireplace, make sure any structural alterations are properly engineered and compliant—not just attacked with a saw.

An internal load-bearing wall has been removed without proper support installed. There is now no support carrying the roof load — which is not adequate or compliant. Being a concrete tiled roof this is a big concern and needs rectification without delay.

🔍 Risks:
• Poor load distribution
• Potential sagging or movement
• Increased risk of structural failure

🏠 Reminder: Removing load-bearing walls requires a permit, properly designed beam and supports — not DIY fixes.

Been awhile between posts, we have been flat out ensuring no hidden surprises for our clients when purchasing.

Here is something I come across. The installation of fire places is tricky with the location of the flue but altering structural elements is a big no no!

Although they’re tiny, their hard work surely pays off. Their mighty appetites can destroy entire homes and businesses if given the chance!

Why its important to get licensed/qualified trades who know what they are doing, it may cost a little more at the time but the work is done correct the first time!

In this example, the beam is the load supporting element not metal supports and roofing screws 🤦 'try your best screw fix the rest'
