Hi

The plasterer has put the plug socket way to low on a newly skimmed plasterboarded wall.

I need to cut a hole above the level of where the skirting board will be and set it there.

What are the tricks for this?

The skirting board will cover the existing hole. For the new one I think draw out back box. To not totally crack the plaster, maybe use a drill to cut the corners, then sharp knife??

Can't think how I can do it without messing the plaster work, except maybe lots of drill holes that meet up, but that's a bit silly...

The best weapon to use is a 'pad saw' - a serrated blade that fits into a stanley knife, you can the gently saw a perfect hole. :idea:
