refixing plasterboard to brick wall

[600rob]

i noticed one of the joints between two small sections (about 450mm wide) of plasterboard has recently started to crack.

Ive made a start on removing the old plaster and scrim tape back to the existing board ready for a new bit of scrim tape and a skim over with some easi fill.

ive noticed that there is a slight bit of moment the top bit of plaster board and the joint between the two boards is not flush which probably caused the crack.

anyhow i need to re fix the upper bit of board to what ever it is fitted to....im assuming its the brick work because the board is fitted to the rear wall of the house with the external brick on the other side.



ive not managed to locate any existing plasterboard screws so im wondering whats the best way that i can fix the board back in place before i tape and skim it?

any suggestions?

Your plasterboard will have been dot an dabbed on to the wall hence no visible screws, your best bet would be to drill through the plasterboard and fix a couple of screws into the brickwork
