Hi, I am preparing each of my upstairs rooms for teh plasterer to come in. This includes internal insulation, removing old electrics and installing new back boxes for power and light switching.
When relaying the old floorboards how far off the plasterboard should i cut them back. The rooms will be rewired after they have been skimmed so the boards will have to be lifted in isolated areas to allow for cables to be pulled. I realize having teh cables pulled now would be preferred but it is not possible.
I had planned to reinstall the boards cut at wall to wall distance less 15mm. Once the walls have been skimmed this will leave a circa 9mm gap (4mm off each wall) to allow for boards to be lifted with relative ease at a later date.
Are there any issues with doing this?
