At the request of my wife, i recently installed a towel rail radiator in my upstairs bathroom. The only problem was that the existing pipe-work spacing of the old radiator did not match; no bending of the pipe-work was acceptable. This resulted in cutting into the bathroom floor to access pipe-work to make the pipe modification. Once radiator was installed, the hole in the floor needed to be dealt with. The problem im wrestling with is that the main joists to which the floor-board (20mm plywood) run parallel to the wall to which radiator is attached and are spaced about 600mm apart ( Really wide eh ). I have cut the plywood back to both of these joists and to a cross-noggin, but the fourth support (2nd cross noggin) is meters away. Therefore I have a situation where the majority of the floor panel is suspened by two joists and one cross-joist, but the edge with the cut is not. I was advised to insert a cross noggin where the existing section of the floor-panel is floating and run a middle joist from that new noggin to exsting noggin and floor over that. If this is a good solution, how do I get and fix the noggin between the joists such that it is under the existing floating floor edge - therefore supporing it? I guess the noggin itself can be forced into position, but how can it be fixed in-place. There will be no room below it (plaster-board celling), any suggestions?
