This is part 1 of my video showing how I set out and fix the top and bottom timber plates of the stud work partitioning in this new build bungalow.

I’m always amazed by this method of doing stud partitions. Here in Jockoland 🏴 we’d sheet the ceiling, make the frames on the big area of the floor, give it 10-15mm, stand the partitions, Plumb & Fix. Much, much faster. Maybe your Gyproc is Skimmed? Here it’s always Tapped n Filled👍

Hi Fibre Washer. The floor is just rough cast oversite concrete so up and down a fair bit. We did used to tack the ceilings first and then fit the studwork, but we were having a lot of problems with cracking, especially on bungalows, so we put the walls in first now which means smaller plaster boarded ceiling areas, which has cured the cracking problems. (the ceilings are skimmed though).😎 Thanks for watching.

we dont board the ceiling first but always make up frames (unless sloping ceilings). Every upright on the stools in a pack and cut to the tightest point if there isnt too much variation. Smash them up, nail them down and together then walk round the corners plumbing up in one go with a 6ft level. Drop your ceiling nogs in after where you need them.

@@stevehallam6495 Even with Skimmed Gyproc, the Ceiling would be sheeted first, then external walls & as said, Partitions framed up on the Deck & fixed in location. This method has been used for decades, but we’re mainly Timber Frame construction & I guess it’s a very North American method. It’s fast as f.ck though!!!

Hi Mike. Its great of you to ask, but I have just found it almost impossible over the years find a balance between the amount of work I can get and the commitment I would need to give to someone if I took them on. I had 13 people working for me once on a job, and it was very stressful. I then had one guy for a couple of years, and took on more work accordingly, and then he just left and I couldn't get all the work completed. I also had a really good apprentice, but he started messing me about and couldn't keep of the drugs. The reality of it now is, I just get, (if I can), one of my old chippy buddies to help out if I'm on a big project to get it pushed on a bit, and then carry on on my own. What part of the UK are you?

Really appreciate this..when you position the floor plates I assume your work from a drawing.. my question is what do you reference from ..the block work, exterior door openings or some sort self determined reference line ie the longest running wall.?. I ask this because I assume people make mistakes so you must have a way of cross referencing..great channel hope it grows..
@thetallcarpenter3 жыл бұрын

Random question from me bud, looking to counter batten a wall for a horizontal service (pipes not electrics) and wondering if you can use a 2x1 rather than a 2x2? Can't seem to find anything in the regs to state what's suitable so i'd assume 2x1 rough sawn timber would do the job? Or would it need to be C16
@thetallcarpenter3 жыл бұрын
Hi there. I can't see any issues with using 2x1. I presume it will be well fixed to the wall so doesn't need to a structural grade timer as it's only holding plasterboard 👍
@bmxerboynathan3 жыл бұрын
I'm just wondering when you set the walls out and their is a stair opening do you go off the drawing or do you just go off the stair opening? How would you go about running the wall straight through from a stair opening would you find the measure ment to the stair opening and transfer it to the other end of the wall or would you just laser it off the joist?
@thetallcarpenter3 жыл бұрын
Hi Nathan. Good question mate. The stair well HAS to be correct, so comes before everything else regarding floor plan as far as I'm concerned. It also depends where the stair well is. If it was along a party wall in a semi/terrace then I'd just go parallel from that wall the length of any studwork. Also need to keep an eye on how plumb the wall is where the stairs are going, as if it falls out as it goes up, then that needs to be accommodated also as it can close down the stair well and cause problems when fitting the stairs. Occasionally, the stairs go in first, and in this case, the studwork just gets fitted round that.😎Cheers.

Do you agree with putting Dpc under stud work? Ive ripped out a few walls with it on and it seems to trap moisturiser and cause rot rather than letting the concrete and timber to dry naturally, a treated timber sole plate makes more sense to me? Plus you have to drill through it? But regs is regs i suppose?
@thetallcarpenter2 жыл бұрын
Hi Matthew🖐I put DPC under the plate because building control believes it stops damp penetrating the timber from the concrete. This seems odd to me, as the concrete slab is sat on a DPM, so no moisture should be present in the structure after the initial dry out. I personally don't think there would be a sufficient amount of moisture in the drying slab to cause any long term issues to the timber👍Just my opinion based on my experience and logic👊Thanks for your comment and for watching 😎 Cheers Del
