“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!

We ensure no hidden surprised when we inspect your property. This one might be small but can be very costly $$$

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'
