I have a LED wall cabinet for the bathroom with a shaver socket inside that I want to install. My plan was to make a hole at the back of the cabinet then route the cable up to the loft and wire it in to a junction box connected to an existing light circuit.

After I made the hole in the bathroom I tried to route a fish tape up the hole to make sure the cable could go up there but after about 4 inches there is what I think is a wooden joist that runs along the wall so i can't get past it. Is my only option to cut a hole where I think the joist is, drill a hole through it and then refill the hole afterwards? What are the chances of another joist running across the top of the wall? What is the best way to go about this?
 
It depends on your confidence. There may be a joist along the top of the wall or they may not be.

How far down the wall from the ceiling is the first joist you have found?
