I actually think it's a good sign to be honest.

A pain in the rear end for us but it shows at least that there are people out there that realise electricity is dangerous and stay well away from it

Well that's the reason I choose to believe they do it anyway

 

[Guest112]

agreed it does my head in lol

 

[Knobhead]

It stops all those nasty electrons escaping! Does it come under “containment?”

not the reason at all. the reason is laziness and/or cheapskating. i hate to see it. it's just a typical bodge by other trades.

Just isolate then smash the hell out of them

How else are you going to achieve that flush look :willy_nilly:

 

[keniff]

They obviously didn't have longer 3.5 screws lol

 

[telectrix]

but they do have tile adhesive. seen that done before now.

 

[DurhamSparky]

extra long wood screws seem to be weapon of choice my way!!!

I usually find that the tiles underneath the tiles are usually better than the tiles on top (if that makes sense?).

 

[WDMDL]

Me too. And it does make sense

Tiles underneath tiles drive me potty.

inspection and testing if i cant get the equipment off its a limitation so their loss as it reflects on the report seen this problem many times so far people seem to think that once a piece of electrical equipment is on and working that it need not be removed ever again for some reason...

I was rewiring a flat acouple of years back & there was a plasterer there too. We got chatting & it became apparent that he knew quite a bit about what I was doing.It turned out that he was a spark himself who had got so sick of his backboxes getting filled with plaster that he decided that he if couldn't beat them, he would join them !!

If the switch fronts are fitted and the wall has not been finished,you can't really blame the plasterer for not loosening or removing them,how often on here do we hear the screams about safe isolation and not working live
