Enlarging Pockets for Ceiling Joists

Gizzydash · Tuesday at 9:16 PM

Hi All,
I'm planning on opening out my kitchen and existing joists aren't the correct size for the wider span (going from 145 to 195).
Pic attached of existing pocketed joist - assume there's no issue breaking out existing joist and mortar and slotting new joist in? Looks like I have a good blob of mortar to break out at the top that'll give me the 50mm I need.
Thanks in advance
