Bit of background - I bought a house and it had no attic access so I got a hatch put in and a section of it floored recently. Its a split level so could only have half it floored for the moment. I had a quick look into and was happy with the space I had.
I got into the attic fully for the first time today and realised theres no party wall between me and the neighbour. Bigger problem is the real floor (ceiling from downstairs) is about 5 foot below so the gap is about 9 foot
Im certain its really important to have a fire wall here but im concerned that someone would have to lower themselves into the lower joists to try and build up and would anyone actually take on the job
has anyone had this issue and resolved it relativly easily.
Any help would be appreciated
