I have unleveled joists in the interior. I need to place plasterboards. How can I do it? I don t want to lose any space in high as I have just 2140mm.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

If it’s just a little bit off level you can get 45 wide packers to put on the lowest rafter or if it’s just 1 that’s to low you can trim it back level with the rest you have to find a happy medium

Its not easy to visualise the problem but you can either attach timbers to the side of the existing joists to level up or attach 2x1 battens underneath the joists at 90 degrees to the existing joists but the would lower the ceiling height slightly.

I would find the highest point and fix timbers to the side of them bolting with timber lock bolts to create a flat wall or ceiling.
