Problem fitting a ceiling light!

Bannockburn · 2 Jun 2004

Hi,

I have been trying to fit a hanging lamp to the ceiling (their is already a wired in perspex rose) but the plasterboard underneath and around the rose has crumbled and i therefore can't screw the lamp through the holes in the rose into the ceiling.

Would be very grateful for any advice or tips on how to sort this out?

Cheers
