My daughter was going to get a man in to plasterboard the wall and build a
new door frame for a new back door but having gone this far I'd like to see
it through myself.

I've not plasterboarded myself but can't see that it's gonna be too hard,
particularly if it gets a plaster coat on top.

Given that a) I might be working alone and b) the ceiling is 9ft high,
would I be best using 6x3ft sheets of PB?

Would I stagger the joins across wall using a 6 + 3 ft piece followed by 3
+ 6 ft piece?

For a kitchen/dining room (well away from sink & countertops) what
thickness and type of PB should I use?

I'd stick to 8x4 and split them if need be for your handling to 4x4
For a wall use 12mm and for ceiling 9.5mm
Stagger all joints.

Well I've just discovered that I CAN get 6x3 ft boards in the boot of a jag
so that consideration will probably trump all others. ;-)
