Dear all,
of course I cannot do the repairs, but any help & advice most appreciated, I have no idea where to start, have been bitten by too many cowboys.

So you have seen the rotten noggin yourself? How extensive is the rot?0 -
Thank you very much for the link explaining the terminology. in my case it is. noggins at the top but lower down where the inner ceiling meet joist. There is a curvy facia which has dropped down and seems that rotten joist, noggins could not hold the weight of plaster/ cement.I think there has been a leak which was not fixed properly.
