Packing Over Sleeper Wall

[Spuggy]

I'm currently replacing the floor and suspended joists in our dining room.

Our old dining room timber floor was 'bouncy' and uneven and had a small 'step' where it transitioned to a concrete solid floor in our old kitchen. Following a new kitchen extension, the two old rooms have been knocked into one, so while sorting the 'bouncy' and uneven floor I've raised the new joists slightly to get rid of the small step.

The new joists are hung on new bolted wall plates at either side, but where they pass over the sleeper wall there is now a gap ranging from 25mm to 12mm in places. The new joist centres are currently temporarily propped on the original dpc/wallplate with plastic packers so I can keep working.

Any advice on what to use as permanent packing before I get on with insulation and re-boarding?

Cheers.

Cheers for this.

Coincidentally, The joists are currently levelled and sitting on those very same shims. I had no idea they would be good for a permanent solution.

Thanks.
