Browse Forums DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair 1 Sep 09, 2021 10:20 am I've noticed on some of my walls, that the plasterboard feels disconnected from the stud, in that I am able to press on a particular spot and feel a gap before it presses against the stud. This becomes most noticeable on a windy day when I can hear the plasterboard 'flex'. Subtle creaking and cracking noise that I only notice on those walls where the plasterboard is loose. I've seen a suggestion on screwing the wall back onto the studs to secure them. Is this recommended? And are there particular tools and practices that I should follow? My studs are steel frame btw. Cheers!
