I am just about to lift the floor of a room as the joists are quite obviously live. I expect to find the noggins have shrunk and dropped out, as I understand they are usually just wedged into place.
What is the appropriate way to tie the joists -
1) replacing the old noggins, but fixing them with screws/sliding wegdes
2) replacing them with new noggins of the right size where neccessary
3) tieing the joists with steel rods?
Any advice or tips on the noggins plus lifting the floorboards would be very welcome (we have SPABs usueful leaflet on this - why dont they make these available online as PDF?).
Many thanks
