Gable End Restraint/Straps
Hi, buying a 1970s house and survey reports: "End restraint is inadequate to the roof structure and gable wall straps should now be fitted, to connect the roof structure to the end walls. These are galvanised steel connectors which should be spaced along the roof and ceiling timbers at maximum of 2-metre intervals. They should be sufficiently long to be fixed to three of the roof timbers and have suitable noggins between the roof timbers." How much would this work cost approximately? Can the straps be attached to the brick, rather than making a hole to get strap through?
