holding celotex in place before putting plasterboard on pitc

[DJM]

I'm not sure if this should be here or building, but as it involves plasterboard, I am sure you guys will have a useful answer.

Starting to put the house back together after the dry rot issue and removal of the old lathe and plaster ceiling.

Part of the room has a pitched ceiling formed by the roof rafters. Thanks to some previous advice on here, I have insulated between the rafters (ensuring thatthere is a suitable minimum air gap to keep the coold airspace) and will be putting insulation across the rafters to stop the thermal bridging and save some energy.

But the question is is there and easy way to keep the celotex on the pitched roof prior to fitting the plasterboard?

yep, cut it at slight angles so it fits in there tight.

Not worried about the insulation between rafters - done that as you say nice and tight. Its the insulation under the rafters I want temporay fixing until I fix the plasterboard under that.

pop some drywall screws through it, wont need many as it doesn't weigh much

drywall screws and washers on them if need be.

I had figured it that drywall screws and washers would work, but just wondered if there was a better trick. Thanks for the help and suggestions
