I'm about to reboard the kitchen ceiling in our single storey extension.
Can i just use standard plasterboard or is it necessary to use anything
special for vapourcheck / fire regs?

Thanks for any advice.

Standard stuff is good. Eggshell paint is harder wearing, handy
when scrubbing grease off. 12mm provides a bit more fire
resistance than 9.5 fwiw.

Thanks. I think the person who mentioned vapour/fire check to me might
have been talking about regs for flats/conversions.

Its a good idea to use foil backed boards in steamy rooms, and in fact
everywhere. Its not much extra, and it does keep moisture where it
should be.

Likewise doubling it up meets most fire regs..beware of recessed lights tho.
