RE: (OT) Ceiling joist spacing

["James, Daniel" <daniel.james@xxxxxxx>]

Not sure if ceiling joists are standard distances apart, but buy yourself a stud finder, and you can quickly work out where they are.

 

Cost around a tenner from DIY shops.

Is there a standard spacing for ceiling joists? I need a solid
ceiling fixing, but don't have access to the floor above. I think I
know where one joist is, but don't want to have to drill random holes
to locate a second. The house is victorian, but the ceiling is
plasterboard, but no fixings are visible.
