No the walls been build, it's floppy and Yeah it's been done like nothing you have explained. Mini boards were used, most of which were ever ripped down ( dont know why ) over a standard height wall by 3.6 meters there are probably around 7 to 8 cut boards. Also not all the board land on...

That the thing they are not, there is at least 8 mini boards, some of them are cut even smaller. I was expecting 2.4 X 1.2 boards floor to ceiling. And over a stud left and right. When I saw the mini boards arrive I was surprised, and then when I saw the mini boards had been cut in some areas...

But surely like Freddie said "Every board edge must sit on timber and be fixed to it" makes perfect sense from a rigidity standpoint. Surely a "floating edge" is bad practice. So the wall in question. The plaster board is coming off. I've been recommended by a well known interior fit out...

Oh brilliant, well that's good to know. Real good plastering too. Bullet level. Shame about the board fixing

Well that's the strange thing, they brought new boards with them. Mini boards as that's all selco had. I noticed that a few of the boards just but on one side. So meaning 2 boards meeting together not sat on timber. Is this incorrect?

Sorry it's been boarded, with 9.5 mini boards. Now I'll try and explain this as the best I can. Not all the board land on a noggins or stud on all 4 side of the plaster board. So the plaster boards, some of them butt together with no timber to sit on. If that makes sense

So what I forgot to mention is we have said wall already build, with CLS at 90 degrees. So giving is 38mm perfect. WITH ONLY, one row of noggins. It's very flexible.

Do you think going for c24 structural graded timer is over kill? Why not use CLS and flip it 90 degrees?, A lots of runs of noggins. Say 3 or 4 runs?

Very interesting thank you so much, out of interest do you what type of wood the batterns were?

Hello, our house upstairs has been built with Paramount. If you don't know what it is.....I didn't. It's 2 9.5 plasters boards sandwich together with a honey comb. Stud / brace at the head and a track / base along the bottom. Finished off with 34x34 timber at the sides for each section...
