But that would be leaving non-sheathed conductors exposed and energised, leaving the Electrician in bother were something to happen.
True, but distinctly better than how it has been left now!

Is it though?
Having the light permanently wired to be switched on for over a month doesn't seem like the best option to me
Not ideal, but I was meaning it was better from the point of view of the plasterer getting an electric shock or damaging the cables with the trowel (which, let's face it might have happened).
I guess another option could be to just cap off the switches the same way as the sockets and have no electrics in the room, but then plasterer would need to supply his own lighting.
I am just curious to know what the industry standard is when plastering a room with light switches. I have other rooms to refurb so getting an idea of best practice on how to prepare sockets would be very helpful for future renovations.
So far I have DPGs suggestion, any others?
I fit these if its a plasterer I don't know. Double version also available. They can be cleaned and re-used.
