I ended up getting some L shaped joist brackets, supported the binding with a ratchet strap and lifted it up just enough to move the piece of wood into the correct position on the brick. I've screwed the L shaped brackets to the chimney breast using concrete screws 100mm 2 in each bracket then...

I've considered using the attached, but the hanger support again I'll have trouble as there's a brick in the way and the wooden block. The black supports I could use temporarily whilst removing the wooden block and possibly packing the space out with concrete on top of that brick?

Thanks for the reply, I've got about a 3 inch gap between a ceiling joist and that wooden block. Think I'll have a right game trying to get that in a better position

I'm boarding my loft for storage and I've found what looks like a potential issue with a binder. It appears when the house was built the brick that was installed to support the binder broke and it's been wedged up with a small piece of wood? Ideally would like to know what the safest method...
