Hello,
I'm in the process of getting quotes for a new plasterboard ceiling for a residential upstairs bedroom. I've already removed the old one due to water damage and it being in a really bad state.
Whilst getting one quote the guy said the ceiling would need to be double boarded due to fire regs. Is this true or is he just trying it on?
I asked another plasterer about this and he wasn't sure and said he normally puts 12.5mm boards, which is what I expected. I haven't been able to contact my local building control and doing a search on the internet hasn't confirmed it either.
Thanks in advance!
