Great - thanks.

Thank you for all your help. Actually, we've decided to leave the socket where it is, and locate the oven near the socket (we'll just re-arrange the kitchen a bit). The RED socket says 32-6h 3p-N+Earth IP44 200/346V, 240/415V. I've checked the CU and it's on a 32A breaker. Am I right in...

Well, yes I do. But the reason for my last post was hoping someone would either say "yeah, those drywall screws are tough", or "What, they shear like crazy" ... just waiting for some affirmation from more "experienced" guys that do this sort of stuff everyday.

Thanks guys - yeah, they're not "joist hangers", they are angles metal with no holes. You're supposed to drill holes and attach to joists with "appropriate fixing". It's a British Gypsum product...

We are looking at installing a MF independent ceiling whcih hang from the original joists. The instructions say attach the fixed metal hanger to the existing joist with "appropriate" fixings. Great! So I plan to drill two holes in the metal angled hanger and screw these into the side of the...
