Well I managed it without cutting an access square halfway up the wall top drill a hole through the noggin/dwang!
My steps were:
Locate the vertical rows of PB screws/nails using neodymium magnets. These are clearly the vertical studs
Measure from corner of wall where you want to place the socket bearing in mind where the studs are.
Cut a rectangular hole where new socket is going to go with a multi-tool.
Use a dental mirror and torch to ascertain that theres no pipes, cables in the region of the noggin/dwang.
Go into loft and locate top wall plate for the stud partition wall.
Drill two holes through using a wood bit. Place a white LED and power soource through one hole to illuminate the area above the noggin/dwang.
Use the other hoel to check area is clear of pipes and cables down to noggin/dwang to be drilled
USe a tape measure to mweasure the distance from the hole to the top surface of the dwang/noggin
In my case that was 1.4m.
I then assembled four extender bars and and a SHARP wood bit into one assembly, and inserted this into hole and lowered it to the noggin/Dwang.
Visually inspect through hole to position wood bit to midway between the two sheets of plasterboard and push the drill bit down so the pointy bit goes into the noggin/dwang so it does not move from its position when you start drilling.
Attach a battery powered variable speec drill to the extremely long drill bit assembly.
Drill SLOWLY (as the drill assmbly is NOT straight and will vibrate a bit)
Thanks to the sharp bit, the noggin/dwang was drilled through.
Withdrawn the extra long drill bit assembly.
Now go to socket hole and place a torch shining upwards to the hole drilled in the noggin/dwang
Go back to loft and if you look threough hole, you will see the light shining through the hole in the noggin/dwang.
Now use a length of 2m rigid PVC round conduit and put a cone on the end of it.
Lower said conduit into the hole in wall plate that is directly above the hole in the noggin/dwang.
Then look through the 2nd hole in the top wall plate and you can guide the pointed conical end of the white pipe towards the hole in the noggin/dwang with light shining through.
Then you will find it easily and it will then drop down to the new socket opening.
Go to socket and remove conical plug from conduit and fit a circular terminator and drill the required hole in the back box.
push conduit upwards enough to allow you to put the back socket in and use a finger through the hole to pull the conduit back down guiding the terninator into the socket pack box's hole and screw on the plastic nut.
Voila, you now can drop cables fom attic to wall socket or push through cables into loft from the socket back box!
Job's a good un and no making good fo tiled walls or wallpapering to do!
