Hi there,
We had our asbestos ceilings removed and discovered all our internal walls upstairs are made of paramount wall partitions. I think it was on one of these Screwfix forums that someone said they're a fire hazard so I'm wanting to replace them all with ordinary stud walls. But I'm stumped with what to do with the wall over the stairs (I've attached a photo). Do I just securely attach the frame to the wall and ceiling rafters? (We have a fink design truss roof) or do I need to do something else to make it safe and meet building regs? Any help would be very gratefully received!! I've also added a photo of the exterior wall I'd presumably need to attach it to...
Thank you!
