If anything, fill in those corners with a bit of bonding coat plaster, it does not need to be good. That is certainly some "unique" plasterboarding. I am a bit special you know that!. @joe90 has sent me a number for a plasterer. I might email him some pic's first so he knows to double the price anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never having plasterboard before I thought it might need to be as neat as possible, good to know that all sins can be sorted by the plasterer ? Easy remedy would be to take the reveal off and replace it with a wider piece Then rub the edge Down with a sureform Same with the walls Let them run past 5 mil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I plasterboard this area as it is ; just naturally pulls to the warped angle . What’s the best thing to do here ? Can I ‘pack out’ the plasterboard to get it level ?? I would go and cut myself a pile of 5mm and 11mm ply spacers. Rip a piece to 6 inches then slice it into 1-3 inch pieces. A big pile of them will be great for sorting out all sorts. My brother had a real craftsman of a joiner working in his 1900's house a few years ago, while my brother was away for 2 weeks holiday I was to go in and check things were going OK - the first day I arrived to check I noted the guy had done a brilliant job of 12mm exterior ply lining all the wonky floors, what struck me was the massive pile of various thickness ply spacers he had cut for the next stages of the work. As I came in each day I noticed these perfect little packed out bits and all sorts using all his spacers he had cut. They were all equal size and very very neat. I did the same when I was renovating bits of our house and trying to fit square stuff into squint rooms!
