Hello all. I live in a 40s bungalow and have just removed the front room ceiling as the old one was in a poor state.
14ft long 3" x 2" joists span the width of the room at 400mm intervals. Some are sagging and twisted a bit. Thus, I need to get the joists as level as possible before the new 6x3 plasterboard goes up.
My plasterer has suggested noggings on the worst offending joists. Any idea how far apart I should use them, (does it hurt to use loads?) what screws I should use, and how to screw them to the joists?
Thanks
