To be expected I imagine, what is your point?

there is a valid reason for the change from "safe" to "prescribed". plumbers were getting wise to safe, so were managing to miss cables 50%. now it's called prescribed, plumbers don't have a clue what it means ( more than 1 syllable), so they can manage a 80% cable drilling target.

Bit of commonsense though...
but why are people so afraid of cutting into plasterboard?
Can't see into ceiling void?
Cut a hatch! Fill it with a custom plastic hinged lid/access panel...or just patch it in, using the bit you cut out...
OK, it seems messy, but it saves hours/£££s and if you have a friendly plasterer he will sort it in minutes.

No such thing as a friendly Plasterer, spread the pink stuff on the wall and sod anyone or anything that gets in the way, am I right?

No, this time, sadly not...I have a friendly plasterer who covers all my mistakes, properly...
I also know a plasterer who covers the walls, ceilings and floor as he sloshes his stuff all over the place...he's a dick-head, to be fair!
Doesn't even cover the floor, or other trade's tools with a dustsheet...just turns up, late, splashes his carp everywhere, demands cash, and feks off...
He's quick, and good at doing the job, but he's a nightmare and I don't use him ever, these days.
