 INTIAL CONSIDERATION

The stud work for the ceiling is relatively easy as you

simply mark a line along one wall using a long piece of
wood and spirit level at the height at which you want
the false ceiling, fasten this piece of wood to the
wall making sure it is level
. 
FRAME WORK ALL AROUND

Then work around the room

attaching the other lengths of
wood until you have a level
frame all around the room.
  Fixing plasterboard to a ceiling is never
FIXING N JOINTS easy and although it is possible to fix it
alone it is far easier with two people.
Be sure to mark the wall where the
studs are to make fastening easier.

 you can screw them with bugle headed

phosphate coated screws. When
fastening the plasterboard ensure that
the nails or screws do not tear the
paper on the plasterboard, simply
make sure they sink below the surface
but without tearing the paper.

 Cutting plasterboard is very easy and

can either be sawn with an old blunt
saw or better still score it on the
reverse with a sharp knife all the way .
7.Jointing;
The board shall be butt-jointed with minimum clearance of
2mm.
8. The joints if left open shall be filled with painters putty and
brought to level or may be cut to V-shape.
9. The joints may be rebated or jointed with tongue and
groove but screws not fixed on the rebate.
10. Open joints shall be covered by a moulding or strip.
11. When fixing moulding incase of decorative boards, care
should be taken that their colour,shape and size are selected
appropriate to the decorative pattern of the ceiling.

12, finishing : The ceiling after fixing shall be finished by hand

standing where necessary and given further finishes of waxing
,polishing,
13 .In plywood and other boards with finished surface, the care
shall be taken during handling and fixing operation.

 DAMAGED ROOF
NEED FASLSE
CEILING WORK

Often if a ceiling is too badly damaged it will need

plaster boarding over before it can either be Skimmed
with plaster or Artexed. This ceiling below was very
badly cracked but also was not flat as it curved off where
it met the wall, the only solution here was to install a
false ceiling by fixing a wooden partition across the
ceiling (similar to building a partition wall).
INSTALATION OF ELECTRIC APPNS
 This procedure is
almost identical to
installing a stud
partition but instead of
being vertical it is
horizontal, It is a good
idea to leave a space
for the loft hatch to
make access easier.

the framework around
