Good tips there. If you are drilling from one side of the joist through a 100mm hole how can you check to see if there’s anything on the other side without check via an access hole? Is that what you mean by 100mm holes between all joists that you’re routing between?Drill 100mm holes between joists, with a sharp hole cutter, about 3inches from one side of the joist, if you can
Use a 400mm long wood spade bit to drill through joists at appropriate height (ALWAYS check the other side of the joist before you drill through for pipes and cables)
Cut up 8in lengths of 1x2in roof batten(keep an eye out in builders skips they usually discard loads of off cuts), or the bits that come in oven packaging!
keep it in your van always
Use drywall screws to fix batten across holes and fix your circular cut out back in hole after wiring(paying attention to which way round they go and what one went it what hole, this is important for the best making good job)
Buy a bag of easi-fill and get some decent making good tools and fill holes
I personally use a little squirty water bottle to wet the area first and prevents your filler from drying out, but generally even a child can make a good job with this stuff its excellent!
Job done!
