I know that if it was a full on loft conversion then structural calculations are needed and there are firms such as telebeam or trussloft that specialise in such conversions.

Now for a simple fink truss loft over a garage, going to all this work will mean that it's not cost effective for a simple storage space.

The new joists and floor would be independent of the trusses and sit alongside the trusses so no extra load is imparted to the trusses themselves.

It's not extra load that's the problem, it's making fundamental
changes to minimally speced cheapest possible roof trusses where
your biggest gamble lies

I was hoping someone on this Ng might have done something similar?

and then hope they knew what they were doing!?
