plasterboard install. and whats this type

Hi im drywalling my bathroom.
I have coven on ceiling. Is it best to remove this or should it just fit under it.
Also I got pipes coming out wall . Should I cut the drywall above pipes to make it easy to markout .
On the other wall I have shower pipe coming out and in the corner there's a resess that the drywall goes into. And there's nt a stud b4 the pipe (abt 300mm). To get it into the corner. And over the pipe and under the coving is turning out to b hard . How would you approach this. . The way I thought was to batten out from corner and get the 2 pieces to meet . But that would leave them just touching ends. And this wall is shower wall. (Mr board and will be tanked

Now I took old drywall away from the exterior wall and it has foam behind it (insulation).
The plaster is abt 10mm and foam about 20mm thick. . The yellow foam is adhered to the back and then silver backing.

Where can I get this. I tryed the sheds but to no avail. Or can I use loft insulation stuff behind 10mm board


Any help appreciated

 

Thanks pj. I looked it up and looks same . Altho mine hasnt branding on it (circa 1985).
When I checked my local stores. crapbase had nowt and b&screw only had roof ones . And the guy hasn't a clue and sayed to use loft insulation or expanding foam .

I will check jewson or wicks tmz . Its only a 38x36 inch bit I require .

Just need to figure out how to do the rest of the job. Will prob cut it at a stud and fit top part then cut out pipes and inatall bottom. Then the problem wall just batten it out and cut bottom and top and do same with that without putting it right into the resess.

Anyone did a shower neich (alcove)

 

Thanks for links. The b&q one is just plasterboard with foil . No foam. I saw this one down there.

The wicks one is ideal but to thick. At 50mm. My total thickness required togo with rest of wall is 25mm, 10mm plaster. 15 mm foam. This is the combination in trying to find.

Thanks

 

Ahh cool. Do they sell to the public or they trade only. Theres one abt 10 mile from me

Thanks pg

 

Its 800x2300 . It has coving at top and the pipe is a meter up and 300 out. Tge recess is 3 inch. Waa thinking of battening up the cwall. One batten will bring it level to tge adjoining wall and 2 will gimmy a bit to screwcto.

So u think its best to cut it in half. Slide top up and then the bottom .
Or u think it can b done all in one

 

Thats true. My only concern is getting it under the coving. Or should I just rip the coving off and replace.
The wall ends at the door .

Will I bother trying to tuck it into the recess at all

 

Its plasterboard coving. And £5 for 3 meter length. And a part had a pipe going thro it. So prob best just to replace it. Just need to get away from ceiling.

Im going to attempt to skim the ceiling as a posed to putting a plasticcceiling up that I was intending to do

Ive created a cash only acc with travis perkins. Fabrication my own facticious company. Hopefully get good prices .


Thanks pj for all ur help
