[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 463401, member: 16173"] How over deep are we talking? If just a bit then vac out the hole and use the cheapest something out of a gun like No Nails. Drill your fixing holes, put in your Rawlplugs in, good squirt of whatever and screw the thing in level. Let set (if time's not an issue) then screw tight and clean up. If deeper then mortar you can even get a mortar gun. Fill in round the edges with filler. If you've really overdone it you can get extenders, generally used if the walls have been overboarded: [URL="https://www.ukelectricalsupplies.com/search.htm?search=Norslo+Extension"]https://www.ukelectricalsupplies.com/search.htm?search=Norslo+Extension[/URL] DON'T use cardboard - here's one I found: [ATTACH]9204._xfImport[/ATTACH] Putting sockets in some hollow pocket breeze and I ended up putting some curly wurlys on FIRST then pushing into mortar: [ATTACH]9205._xfImport[/ATTACH] You'll get a feel for what's right. Post a pic up and people will advise is best. [/QUOTE]
