    I'm about to start a Reno early next week and I've been able to obtain quotes for everything I'm not doing myself but unfortunately I can't get any plasterboarding quotes until mid next week. Just wondering what people have paid in the past for a wall in your average sized bedroom. Whether it be put on the frame or just stuck to the internal brick wall. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    A couple of ways to put the gyprock over brick, … if the brick wall smoothish and flat then you should be able to glue the sheets directly to the surface, otherwise and I prefer this method, screw timber battons on the wall and then apply the gyprock.

    As far as cost of getting someone to do it for you …. the sheets are pretty cheap, but you also have to allow for adhesive, joint tape, joint compound and finish coat, it can start to add up, but a professional will already have this stuff, … plus you may need to match the cornice and skirting. Unless you are proficient with plastering then don't attempt to set the joints … you need to know what you are doing to get a smooth/seamless finish.

    If it's only one wall then it really shouldn't cost that much, ….. I can't give you a m2 price as I do it all myself on my reno's, but definitely it should under $1,000 easily, it should only be a few hundred for one wall.

    I tried to add a couple of example photo's from one of my reno's of the wall battons, but I couldn't work out how to paste photo's in.

    Thanks Mystery. Yeah I was looking at doing it myself but its a top floor unit and the hassle of getting the plasterboard up there plus the tiling and flat pack kitchen I'm doing will probably keep me busy so i decided to just get someone to do it :/ i really should try myself but it'd be better if i didn;t have to worry about it. I'll post soome after reno pictures on here soon :)
