hi I'm John from A&E constriction and you're watching build with A&E
today we're gonna show you how to overboard a ceiling we're in this
Victorian property in Leamington and rather than rip down all this ceiling which can
make a lot of mess we're gonna simply overboard its often more
cost-effective safer easier cleaner way of doing things
saves a lot a mess just control through the house really really easily so the
whole house will you just get covered unless you've blanket everything off
we are gonna do it this way easy simple straightforward and today I'm gonna show
you how first of all if you look at it you can see that we've already started
boarding the ceiling just to get a bit of a head start and get things laid out
ready for you to see exactly what today when you're overboarding the main
problem is you can't see where the joists are across the ceiling so you need to find
out where they are so when you picture border and get a perfect fixing if you
don't and you're going to just fix them to the lath or whatever is above it
you've always just gonna flat fall down crack any number of problems so you need
to make sure you've got a side fixer well we've done it smack these holes and
then you can fear the bird where you can see exactly where the joists are we have
marks on the wall across exactly where they all are and then we've done the
same down the opposite side of the room all you need to do a chalk line like
this if you're on your own you can just fix the screw from the ceiling just like
so it's up to where it is put your chalk line over and then walk down the other
side get the cu9 put your line across and
ping it and then nothing give you I don't if you can see it across here nice
blue or whatever kind of caught you got line that way then you know exactly
where the joists are all the way across the ceiling it's very rare that they go
straight especially no properties like that they can go to bed
so this way you know exactly where they are so we're on to the next board what
we're gonna do is measure up again get the board cut off hurry up see what
happens and then we'll go from there so against the edge of the board that
you've already cut measure across we've got a two point four meter board hold it
to the wall what we need to do in that area there just put a small piece in
there because how the balls fall which is the way is to 170 to 180 so it's
important to remember which way it'd be possible is going it's two sides to pass
the ball you've got the brown side here and back
of the plasterboard front here there's plenty of those different pasta bowls we
using a standard board for this 12.5 mm there's different thicknesses you get
knowing that as well used to be able to get to divide
everything to do that anymore lots of different applications they can be used
for for this is perfectly fine just use a standard Gorge got no reason to
protect against any extra fire and it relaxes nothing in his experimental
plane so you don't even like that you don't need moisture system board
because it get into bedrooms you're not gonna have any moisture issues we've
used it all in there and the ensuite bathroom because obviously it's the
bathroom so better to use that Tex against any water got to remember them
which way around the boys in the game or on the ceiling so you make sure you cut
the right edge otherwise the border fit so we know that that ball is going to go
up so this edge here is going to be that edge there so I need to make sure that
that yes 21:18 tape on the end of the board cross make
your mark and this was 21 17 straight edge of the board move the board out the
way slight tuck in the back of the board and Bend and there you go got a nice
straight lines cut in the back just like that and there you go use your rough
surf or whatever you decide to call it
let's finished entering it now position yourself so you roughly in the middle of
the board that way it's two of us easier much easier when you're boarding the
sooner you get one end each you're on your own and you may want to use a dead
man or a board left something like that which is basically the prop which holds
it up gets in place then you can scrimmage easier on your a get some
screws ready the last thing you want to do is get a nominee screws to hang the
ball back down again okay
all right make sure everything lines up like that obviously as we mentioned
before there's a bit of a bow in the ceiling so it's going to be a bit of a
wobble but once it's fixed yet I'm scared
once you've got a good few in you know it's not going to go anywhere can we be
hung then you say gates out the straightedge you know that your joist is
going to be behind this crate and you isn't gonna be about behind this screw
because again you're following your streamlined straight edge from there
straight edge on there line across that way let me know that any fixing that you
make across that line is going to be only joist it's very important that you
fix onto the joist rather than just through the left behind it because this
way then you put a good sure fix in
measure 300 centers so every 30 centimeters it should be a screw so 30
60 90 and obviously one on either end that way then you're not putting in too
many fixings or not enough that's perfect tomorrow then with the equal
spacings all the way across the board make sure the board's solid it's not
going to go anywhere you're not going to put two million as well so you damage
the board are you going
Michael mentioned before just so the heads just through the paper you can go
out around afterwards with a scraper and just run it just the board like that and
just check if you hear any metallic noises and you know it's too proud
again a straightedge climate with either screw on either side flying across
imagine 300 centers 30-60-90 and fix
it's also important to mention before we fix us one yet you might have noticed
that the joints here we're all staggered as you're written across the joists like
that if there is ever any flex and the joist and a crack may appear because
it's moving Plus this solid so it may crack yeah it's important to stagger the
joints because if you put them all together or in a big line and what's
going to happen to cross that one Joyce you'll get a crack that will form all
the way across to see them if you certain the joints like this so good
company got one here one the next joist or as far apart as you can it prevents
any massive cracks get across your ceiling you may just get a small
hairline crack that goes across which consumed fear or paint or whatever but
yeah it's very important you stagger the joints all the time
there you go plus the bullet fix begins to CNN we know we're going to all the
joy so there's going to be no movement there whatsoever
literally continue that process all the way across the ceiling to you dead and
then it's ready to bust that
right so we're all doing the singing in pretty much we've got it all currently
the bits are a bit from the corner there you can see you've got to leave out
because we've actually ran out a long screws and the merchants this shirt now
so all we've got left and some short screws which Josie's at the minute to
finish off the stood wall we need 75 mil screws like I said for this so yeah well
I say everything's cut we're showing you now all the different statute needs to
go through a board and a sealant so hopefully you'll be able to do it
yourself any questions aren't thought that just
leave in the box below and we'll get back to you also make sure you subscribe
