box installation

[J_T]

Hi

I'm wiring a new house and am at the stage of sealing the boxes for behind the sockets and switches.

The holes have been tracked out to fit 25mm deep boxes and screwed in. I had been planning to finish the installation ready for the plasterer by cementing in the gap around the box but am thinking would a tube of grout or a tec 7 type product be a neater job.

Any experiences that may help would be appreciated.

Thanks

JT

Let the plasterer finish it.
Then it wont crumble.

Indeedy, leave it to the plasterer, but make a careful measured note of where the centres of all your boxes are so you can find and dig them out when the plasterer completely covers them over with plaster. (I'm not joking, by the way)

Thanks guys. Will just leave them as square as possible and get plasterer to fill around them.

stuff part of a plastic shopping bag in the boxes so that when the plasterer fills them all with plaster(9 out of 10 will) you have half a chance of finding the KO boxes again, without the aid of estwing

Good plan!
