Bumbling my way through DIY

Brilliant. Can I use that in place of plasterboard?

I wanted to use insulated plasterboard, but I don't have the depth. I've used 9mm ply in the middle. What could I use in place of wood to prevent cold bridging?
Is 300mm centres not good enough?

Just use insulated board, and. Strip along the wall joint and skim. You'd not notice 45 mm or so

I'll refer you to this pic. It needs to be flush with the bottom of the shelf on the right. It would be fine if there wasn't a dip in the middle...

I've just ordered a few of these boards from screwfix, so we'll see how it goes.

some boards you can plaster straight over and some you cant as you need a bonding agent first

on an edit

id be cutting out that dry rot wood piece and replacing it with a new piece just cut out the bad part and nail a new piece at side of it

but with that stuff id rather remove it just to be sure

Just thinking out loud, will using insulated tile backer board over standard plasterboard make a noticeable difference in regards to heat loss through cold bridging? The contact area between the board and the timber isn't a huge amount, and there is now actual insulation between the joists.

But over thinking is ok here, remember it took 6 months and 7000 comments just to get a poxy table out of a van!
