    Im in a chalet bungalow, there’s currently two bedrooms upstairs but on the side of the bedrooms there’s a fairly large loft space which I’m looking to put in an en-suite bathroom.
    My only issue is I’m currently facing is the purlin and the supports coming off it. Could the rafters be doubled up so it could be removed or could the purlin be moved above what will be the ceiling height. Or any other suggestions?
    I’m going to be putting in a couple of velux windows so will need to double some of the rafters anyway.
    I’m a plumber by trade and despite carrying out substantial building work downstairs on my property I’m not familiar with what could be done when it comes To purlins.
    Thanks for any help.
