I guess you can drill holes in the UK, same as we can in the US?

I use these long, flexi bits if I need to drill through several joists, from one down lighter location to another. They're between 3 and 6 feet long, and they bend a bit so that you can get them in the ceiling cavity. Maybe you all have those available to you already?
