Sistering joists - how to fix to wall

Nice work! Seems you're doing all the jobs I'd like to do in our place. Main bedroom is 4m x 4m and all suspended/full span. Quite bouncy, so I'd like to sister some joists or add noggings or both. Ideally I'd do it without fully taking up the floor though.

Does it feel much more solid now you've sistered up?
Thanks, yeah it's very solid, especially with the ply. I will overboard it with tileboard + flexible adhesive and try to level it. Then tiles on top.

I did blow some of the ground floor ceiling plasterboard screws, from whacking the noggins in place. Nothing too bad, tighten the screws, bit of filler and paint.

I am going to add some noggins between where the first 2 sheets of ply meet as well, as well as probably put some underneath where the bath will go, just for a bit more strength.
