I live in a new built house and in the corners of some of the walls I am getting bubbles. I think this is the plasterboard tape coming apart. How do I fix this before painting? Thanks

I going to paint our bedroom tomorrow and wanted to know how the best way to use Frog tape was ( masking tape ) on the walls. Do I paint the ceiling then give it a few hours and apply the tape on the ceiling so i can paint the walls or does the ceilng need to be totally dry before I can put...

I have just bought a 5/14 inch door frame from wickes which I want to use in my 4x2 stud work. http://www.wickes.co.uk/Softwood-Door-L ... nvt/180129 I bought the fire door version on that one. Can some tell me the easist way to fit this with out messing it up. Any tips would be great...

The wood is 4x2 c16 treated. This is a old picture I have now added all the noggins. A picture is a 1000 words. Would you still recommend the slabs now you have seen the picture. Would I use a vapour check board on that wall ? What plasterboard should i use for the other walls and...

I will double check the wood I think it is Cls stud from jewsons so hopefully it is treated. If it is I can put the slabs in and they can touch the brick. Do I need to do anything else to the brick

I have studed the wall already. What would you say my best Option is now. Thanks

Thanks ajrob for the link. Celotex looks the easist and best to do it. So let me get this right if i used celotex i don't need to use anything else on the wall i just need to keep the celotex off the wall. If the gap is 100mm big and I use 100mm celotex it will touch the wall would i be best...

I have already screwed the wood to the wall and forgot about the Dpm. Are you saying If I used celotex wall boards I wouldnt need to use anything else eg I would not need to treat the wall. What type and thickness should I use. Thanks for the help

I have just studded half of my garage out to make a room that I will use every now and then. The back wall is single skin brick, one side wall is a neighbours garage, the other side is the house wall so should be insultated and the front will be a fake wall with a door in. My questions are...

I was just adding the extra noggins for safety really as the ceiling joists are 650m wide so I have add noggins every 300mm better safe than sorry.

I am planning on fitting 12.5 plasterboard to the ceiling joists that are already in the garage (new build). My question is where should i fit the extra studs ? Is it every 400 like the stud walls ? Thanks

As you might of seen in my previous post I have converted half of my garage into a games room / office so will only be using it now and then. I was planning on using celotex for the insulation but have been put of by the cost. The room is 4 m x 3. The back wall is single brick with cavity...

Thanks prenticeboyofderry and Woody for your help. For the side wall where should i fix the head plate underneaf the roof wood or on the side of it ? For the back wall is it worth me taking it down and starting again or should I just make the ones that are not flushed right?. I should of...

As you can see in the picture there is a breeze block in the middle of the wall I was planning on using 4 x 2 and fixing the studs to the wall so the plasterboard then came out level with the breeze block. I was then hoping the plasterer could plaster straight across ? Would I be better...

Woody I understand I want to keep the face flush how is the best way to do this. Should I not screw them to the wall because when I screw to the wall that's what puts them out. Would screwing to the sole plate and head plate be enough or do I need to fix to the wall.

Hold on I think I might have got it. So from the first picture I would take out the noggin and put in another upright approx 3 inches in. I then fix the plasterboard to this upright and the one in the corner is to support the frame. I then fix the block work stud up tight to the corner stud...

I know what you are saying if i put a stud up tight to the wall it would block the orignal stud. You said I would need to fit another one up right surely that would be on the breeze block wall and not the brick wall as that would block it again. Is that right. If it is the breeze wall do i...

For the Breeze block wall do you mean leave a 12.5m gap for the plasterboard then start the stud wall. So in theory it will be 12.5 mm away from the stud on the brick wall. Thanks

Ideally I would like to plasterboard after all the studs are up. I am being slow today what do you mean bring it out? If I using 4x2 where would i put the first stud on the breeze block wall? Thanks for the help
