Structural timber replacement:

It is the builder/removalists responsibility to ensure that any defective timber found during the
course of removal and re-establishment is replaced with new equivalent timber members.

Where a splice join is required, it should be adequate to ensure there is no loss of strength due to
replacement of the defective timber member.

All cuts should be spliced with timber fish plates of the same dimensional width and 500 either side
of the cut location, fixed with 2/M10 bolts each side of the cut. This should be increased to 750mm
for floor joists or to the satisfaction of the inspecting authority.
