"In the loft the new floor will be totally independent to the existing ceilings so will in theory have no damage to existing ceilings"

"Hi, a suspended floor is timber joists hung on joist hangers either end and then boarded over the top which keeps the floor completely independent"

"A suspended floor is a ground floor with a void underneath the structure. The floor can be formed in various ways, using timber joists, precast concrete panels, block and beam system or cast in-situ with reinforced concrete. However, the floor structure is supported by external and internal walls. Supports underneath the floor are permanent and include sleeper walls or timber props placed at regular intervals."
