FWIW This concerns a flat in the middle storey of a small three storey
block, which was built in the 1970s. I won't have access to the floor
above, as that's obviously someone else's flat.

I would expect a 1970's flat to have decent fire protection between
flats/floors - more than plasterboard/joists/floorboards. Are you sure
there isn't concrete in there somewhere?

I think there is, going by our floor - some sort of bakelite type tile
over at least an inch of concrete - hence my original comment about
needing to check out the nature of the structure between levels.

I'll do that tonight or Saturday, depending on how much light is left
when I get back home.
