The wall I share with my neighbour in my kitchen is hollow and currently all the electrics are surface mounted. I am about to fit a new kitchen and would like to sink the boxes into the wall.
I also need to put some timber supports in to hold the new wall cabinets so need to cut a section of plasterboard out.
Initial exploration by stabbing a screw driver through the plasterboard seems like there is a large cavity – deeper than the reasonably long screw driver I used!
I’m assuming there must be a reason all the electrics are currently surface mounted and I am wondering if there is something I should take into account when working on it?
The house was built in the early 80s.
