Is there a convention for which way joists run in a house? e.g. Front to

And if the joists in the loft run front to back, would all the others?


No. In my late 1990s Redrow house joists run side to side (except for
one small patch under the en-suite), parallel to the ridge of the roof.
I was in the house regularly while it was being built an have the
