Line drawing: section through a room with a vaulted ceiling, with plasterboard screw-fixed to the timber rafters and stud walls, up to an exposed ridge beam.

What it involves

Timber studs, joists and rafters are behind the walls and ceilings of many homes, extensions and attic rooms. Boarding them well starts with the frame: it is checked and prepared first, then the plasterboard is screw-fixed to it for flat, solid walls and ceilings that are ready for jointing or a plaster skim.

  • Checking that studs, joists and rafters are sound, straight and dry, and packing out any that are out of line.
  • Adding noggings where board edges, wall-hung units or other heavy fixtures need support.
  • Fitting insulation between the timbers before boarding, where the job includes it.
  • Screw-fixing boards at the correct centres, with joints staggered and board ends landing on the timber.
  • Boarding sloped and vaulted ceilings neatly around exposed beams, roof windows and changes of angle.
  • Cutting in for lights and sockets, beading reveals and corners, and leaving a flush surface ready for taping and jointing or a skim.
  • Vaulted ceiling and walls boarded with plasterboard, below an exposed timber beam along the apex, with scaffolding still in the room
