    Plasterboard to ceiling, no joists

    Hiyers, I've got a small storage room (about 1m * 1.5m) the current ceiling is made of (various bits) of wood board as it is directly below a cold water tank (not used in a long time). I want to tidy this up, could I put plasterboard directly onto the wood board with a gap between them of...
