the day was going so well!
was given the job of refixing the over bed light that had been ripped from the fixings std practice is to fix a back board once the conduit box is broken beyond repair someone else had already measured up and had the boards made there was no indication the pipes were there as the outlet is to the right beside the curtain the wrong side the nurse call panel anyway tiz done now you wouldnt believe the proscess of getting that pipe dead and repaired needless to say its going to cost a few ££

Surely working in that environment you'd have a pipe/wiring detector?

Or was it fitted with pots behind the plaster no chance of changing? In that case i just redrill holes in the back of the box and thread them then just use longer brass screws to fix in. Job done!

Meh, I still use it if I need it in bulk, but for the majority of my job where gripfill would apply, I use sticks like sh*t instead.

conduit box it terminated with MICC
we need to fix to the block-work as we have had the angle lamps pull sections of plasterboard off the walls when we have used gripfill https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ GTI6 Info Don’t drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.

Dry lining is such a shit building method.
Why not plaster the blockwork and have a solid wall? As a bricklayer and plasterer I find it ridiculous that it is even still a thing. I Don't Have A 306.

Especially when you get pikeys these days rush things so much but providing it all looks ok on the surface its fine. I went through a 230v cable a while back. Could see where it was leaving the panel so you would think they would follow the safe zones right? No. It went at a 45 degree angle behind the board!
