ᐅ Attic: Is the floor safe? Insulation?

Hello everyone,

My grandma owns a house, and I want to set up a home studio in the attic. During wartime, a bomb hit the house. You can still see the damage in the attic. The floor is partly concrete and partly wooden boards. The wooden boards are from before the war.

I have no experience with construction and am a complete beginner in this field.

I want to make sure the floor is safe and can support enough weight. I also want to insulate it to reduce sound transmission to the rooms below.

How can I check if the floor is safe? Should I hire a mason or bricklayer? I can’t assess this myself, and unfortunately, I don’t have parents or relatives who can help. My grandma is too old for this kind of work.

I hope someone can give me an initial assessment and advice on how to approach a project like this.

Thanks and best regards,
jimmyneutron

Hello again, it is not possible to make an assessment based on the photo. You would need more information. Look for a structural engineer or an engineering firm specializing in construction management or site supervision in your area, something along those lines. In my region, an initial consultation is free of charge!
