hi
I’ve got a stud wall to skim.
It’s got 3 electrical fittings on it (extractor isolator, wall switch and double socket). Faceplates are on and wired in by the electrician.
What do people recommend when skimming the plasterboard in terms of the sockets?
Options as I see it (after power off):
1) I can loosen the face plates and skim round
2) remove face plates completely and push in wiring before skimming
3) As above but loosen the back boxes too.
The back boxes have a sizeable lip around them, which I wondered how people normally handle these.
Thanks
