Then I`m of no use whatsoever. I`m a timber engineer. Chances are
tho
that the design requirements are the same. BS codes have that effect
now. If it`s old then I`d be very carefull.

I was !! I had wild plans for a shallow pond with a waterfall type
affair on my roof garden, but luckily found the architect who build
our house and he told me that the roof could carry 150Kg per square
meter. My water feature would have been double that............. So
now I have heavy pots situated over the weightbearing walls below and
around the edges...........:~)

My bathroom was tacked on the end of the house some years ago - long
before I bought it. It has a flat roof with a miniscule fall.

I had a wild idea of putting a platform up there to spread the load, and
then parking a bath with a fig tree in it up there. Where it was planned
to stand was well supported by an internal wall.

On mature consideration some poor osd may have to do some work on the
roof one day, and a bath full of soil and fig tree might cause him to
think unkindly of my planning ability......

So, as I have to remove a rockery to get access for a motorcycle
combination to the sheds, the bath will stand on rubble from a
chimneybreast which is coming out and be surrounded by the resited
rockery.
