I am currently doing some work on a house i have bought and have builders in doing upstairs, just discovered plaster on living room walls apart from chimney breast is blown in various places and very crumbly. I have taken 2 walls back to brick already and intend to plasterboard the living room myself and then get a plasterer to skim it. I have done a little dot and dab before but want to batten for the living room, looking in my local B&Q they have sawn treated timber in sizes 50mm x 22mm and 38mm x 25mm, which size would be best and what size screw/plugs should i use to fix the battens and what space between screws?
Will be able to use full size 12.5mm 2400mm boards on walls, do i batten verticals every 400mm and then either corner and 1 batten horizontal at top and a few at bottom to give support for new skirting boards?
I will have to dot and dab front insulated cavity wall since won't have room to batten due to small window cills.
