I haven't a clue, but can I just ask whether the ceilings have been
removed in the rooms below the loft? If so, could you screw a
joist-size beam to each wall and then hang the joist hangers from those?
I just imagine that would be a lot easier to get completely level than
trying to fill holes in the stonework with different amounts of mortar.
But it does put the woodwork at risk from any penetrating damp.
As I said, I've never done anything like this, so I should really have
kept my mouth/keyboard shut.
