I've taken down the lounge ceiling, several of the joists are floating above the supporting wall and I can get a steel rule (or more) between the bottom of these joists and the wall. This allows the joists to bounce, which causes movement and cracks between the ceiling and walls.
If I push the joists up with my hand, I can get a 5mm wedge under some joists. Other joists don't budge.
How can I stop this bounce?
