damn don't complicate things now lol.. Maybe i'll just order some 70mm & have done with it. Just gotta hope i actually hit the joists/noggins' with the screws now they're covered in PIR.. hopefully i've marked the locations accurately enough on the walls all around (not easy to mark...

lol.. yeah Over the celotex (finished ceiling if you will).. but as it's a ceiling.. it's kinda 'under' it in my head lol I just wasn't sure how far the screws should go into the wood being it's heavy plasterboard on a ceiling, don't want anything falling down.. but realistically the ceiling is...

Hi All, Hopefully a very simple answer to this. I need to Plasterboard a ceiling below a flat roof, in a newly built extension. Currently have Insulation between the Joists & have screwed 30mm celotex under the joists & now need to fix the 12.5mm Plasterboard under the celotex. What is the...
