I spoke to the joist designer and he said they went the size below so they wouldn’t be taller than my RSJ. They stated as long as they are more than 2/3s of the depth of the joist they are fine. Rang the building inspector and he was happy with this if Pasquills confirmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miek Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I had a pasquill floor, they specified noggins between the joist ends to stop rotation. Did they send you a floor plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richo106 Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hi all (again) Have a couple more questions if anyone could help I need to fix my strong backs with 3.1x75mm long galvanised ring shank nails but when I put them in google all I get is the paslode nails. Could anyone recommend any similar suitable ones from Screwfix /toolstation… I found these are these suitable? https://www.screwfix.com/p/easyfix-annular-ring-nails-3-75-x-75mm-1kg-pack/18793 Next question, I need to put noggins between a few joists to support a stud wall above. I think I need something called z brackets, are these them? https://www.strongtie.co.uk/en-UK/products/slotted-z-clip-zs Will standard CLS 63 x 38mm timber be suffice for this? sorry for the simple questions but I want to make sure it’s done right Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miek Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Screwfix are expensive for nails in my experience, I've used this company. https://bulldogfix.com/collections/framing-nails good nails at a decent price. For noggins supporting walls I skew nailed them into place, those strongties look good as a manufactured alternative. The noggins I used came with the floor as a kit but 38x63 is about right, or 3"x2" equivalent would be bomber IMO. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miek Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Just realised you might not have a nail gun in which case screwfix nails are fine. I'd use 90mm long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveasteading Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Not being that skilled, I really appreciate the screws that come with a head that is so precisely made that the screw sits on (even under) the head as if magnetised. And an ultra sharp point Philips Ulti-mate my favourite. Leaves another hand free to hold on to the ladder, and don't drop many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
