Hi,
I'm fitting a flush light fitting to a place where a ceiling rose was. Having removed the ceiling rose, (and rewired using connecting blocks), I now need to attach the base of the flush light.
However, the ceiling rose was partly set in the ceiling and in removing it I've left a hole that is just too wide to accommodate the fixings of the base. So now I need to bulk out the hole in some way in order to give myself something to attach the new base to.
What's the best way of doing this? Some wood or something? There's nothing simple to even attach the wood to. I can see wood lath strips (which held the first layer of plaster), then a layer of plasterboard (but that's crumbled where the hole is.
Am at a bit of a loss. Pls help!
