DIY CEILING
Can you find a DIY website on making a making a man hole in your ceiling to have access into the roof?
I cannot find any informaton on this. I need to make a new manhole into our ceiling to get into the roof cavity but caanot find any information on it.
Locate ceiling joists either side of where you want the new man hole….{timbers that hold up ceiling), then mark out the size of the cut out hole (min: 400 mm X 600mm ), make sure that you do not have any wiring or piping etc. in the location, then cut out ceiling panel (gyprock etc.) with a key-hole saw or similar. (this is best done from within the roof space, don’t fall through the ceiling!!!). The hole should be situated between two joists and trimmed to them, this is then covered on the ceiling side with architrave which is fitted so that it is 1cm smaller all round, this is so that it will support the infill panel or man-hole cover into from the top, this can be any material that you have …gyprock, plywood, Masonite, etc. hope this helps…..another pointer… make sure there is good access above the new hole to get into the roof space….and also that it is accessible below for the ladder… no furniture etc. also do not have it in an unlocked outside area for security reasons….
