Hello,

When plasterboarding a stud wall, should I fix just to the uprights or
both the uprights and the noggins?

I'm thinking that it is probably better to fix anywhere there is part of
the wooden structure underneath.

Thanks

adding a screw on each nogging makes the plasterboard more rigid,
reduces sound transmission. Its not vital though.

If its just a small job you may as well add noggings at useful heigths
all round. That way you can fix anything wherever later, plus a bit
better for sound. Also if you have any lumps of concrete, unwanted
blocks etc, sit a row of them on your noggings, again it improves
sound performance.
