First fix is almost finished and I've spotted a couple of mistakes. They are not the electrician's mistakes. He followed the plans. These were wrong in places.

Might need to move three double socket back boxes and two triple gang switches by 8cm or so in one direction and two wall lights by 8cm or so in one direction. Is that very fiddly? Will it ruin the plastering in that instead of having a nice solid wall to plaster, they will have to plaster over (presumably patched up) holes in the plasterboard?

 

Certainly not the end of the world, happens regularly … usually much worse

Ok, that’s reassuring.  So how does one patch up the holes in the plaster board?

If it’s a stud wall then simply a matter of inserting a strip of timber or ply etc. into the hole, screw through the PB either side to secure the timber in place, cut a fillin piece of plasterboard and screw to the new timber.

if it’s dot and dab then cut and insert a few pieces of Plasterboard to make up the thickness.
