Recently had some plumbing work done and the tongue was cut on some floorboards, after they were up it was clear that the existing old pipes were run in a way that there is no joist to fix to, see pictures.
What I have done is got some stripwood and screwed to the adjacent floorboard so when I replace the lengths over the pipe I can screw one side to the joist and the other side will sit on the stripwood, have tested it out and is nice and solid.
I cannot screw into the stripwood as there are pipes right underneath it so will need to glue them. Can anyone recommend the best glue for this please, I'd imagine something that holds well is key but also allows a bit of movement for expansion in the seasons.
thanks in advance
p.s. in the pictures with the stripwood, those are drawn on as I don't have a picture on me right now with the real stripwood attached
