I agree, however I'd like to know one thing: By putting in an RSJ this
would presumably have to comply with building regs - how would this
affect the rest of the conversion? Would I have to upgrade everything
to comply - eg fire doors etc or would the RSJ been seen as an
independant modification?

I hate saying this on a DIY group, but get an expert in. A structural
engineer would be the best bet, and unless something is very iffy I doubt
he'd report you to the council.
