Hi,
I need to screw my plastic light fitting to a ceiling which is 12mm plasterboard overboarded over old lathe and plaster. I'm not really sure how to go about doing this, and I'm worried about drilling through and hitting the electrics (don't worry power will be turned off, but I'm worried about stripping insulation). I know I can't use rawlplugs, I've got some cone-like plasterboard fixings, but Ican't see them going through lathe. I was considering butterfly fixings.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
James
