    Peter, WIA and Jonti, yea I am seriously considering the plasterboard lifter as are planning to do the whole house (ground floor this year, top floor next year).

    I haven't heard of the collated-screw driver, it looks interesting! I've been using an impact driver until now and with all the removal work we've been doing, it's been the best £80 we spent so far!

    I will look into the size of it too, I am always keen on whatever works and give us a good result. And after removing paint and all sorts of decade old stuff from our walls with an angle grinder on the ratio of 2h/m² so to not take down the original plaster, I learnt a bit of resilience :bigsmile:

    Pull the old ceiling down, it really doesn’t take long, fish the lathes out of the mess you make first then clear up the plaster.
    Reislient bars and largest sheets you can handlle, unlikely you’ll need to go smaller than 1800 x 900. If using smaller sheets a board lifter won’t save much time.
    I’ve used Steicoflex , nice to handle and put in place , but a bit of a bugger to cut and messy ( i ended up doing it on the table saw in workshop, the extraction kept everything clean) but best of all didn’t make me itch at all.

    Thanks for the tips! I am currently considering either Steico or Warmshell for the insulation. I will probably have to cut it myself but don't have a table saw. Do you think it is worth the investment as I am doing the whole house?
