Its going to be replaced with an identical one
I know. So take it down before the plastering!
What if the plaster gets damaged while you're trying to remove it?
Why why why why oh why etc etc.

There's also the assumption that the existing cable is fine. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't - no one knows, so get the electrician in and let them decide before plastering the ceiling. Chances are they can also leave some temporary lighting arrangement that allows a decent finish on the new ceiling.
Agree, the wisdom of posting on this forum at 4pm today when the problem was identified instead of contacting the electrician is a little bit debatable!Get the electrician involved well before any plastering takes place.
I worked for a builder many moons ago, and when the electrician was off site he used a roll of the sparks 2.5 cable to pull up a bucket load of cement to the roof. Then wound it back up and said nothing.builder may be genuine and has a registered spark on hand. not all builders are rogues. i've worked with some good, some bad.

I told the builder and he said its fine. So I guess they know what they are doing. I also read on other forums that if they bring the fixture down slightly they can plasterI worked for a builder many moons ago, and when the electrician was off site he used a roll of the sparks 2.5 cable to pull up a bucket load of cement to the roof.

Never ask a builder for advice use the electrician. The chances of the new fitting being identical to match the unplastered part are zero, it needs removing prior to plastering.
No reason for the sparks to complain. He left a 100m reel, and got back a 105m reel.I worked for a builder many moons ago, and when the electrician was off site he used a roll of the sparks 2.5 cable to pull up a bucket load of cement to the roof. Then wound it back up and said nothing.
Yeah I think the plasterer is going to remove it while they do it. They're a big building firm and have every trade on hand. They do huge extensions and major refurbishments so the director said it will be OK I told him whats what and he is confident its fineNo reason for the sparks to complain.

I just got the builder and directors response. Had to askSo after all these posts and comments about plastering around the light, you now say they are actually going to take it down before they plaster.
