Thanks for the replies. To my surprise the walls are plaster board. I expected lath and plaster myself. Some of you relate too drilling a hole up through the base board of the timber frame but this would be impossible to do under the floorboard as there is no way of manouvering a drill within the space under the upstairs floorboards. Is there another way?
