[QUOTE="revjames, post: 504370, member: 5256"] In an ideal world and from experience on larger well run contracts, 2nd fix comes after the place has been painted and decorated. the only mess is from bits of cable from the connections, the odd bit of plaster where a box has to be cleared out. Where a ceiling or wall has to be boarded, I usually measure the position of the lights, sockets etc and make sure the cables are in the right place. On 2nd fix just a matter of drilling holes, cutting out board for dry lining boxes and cables should be in place ready. However, as others have said, muppets like plasterers cutting off cables and filling in boxes not caring a bit about other trades coming after them. I have gone to a house where there is a fully fitted kitchen complete with tiles and theres no sockets or evidence of them anywhere. [/QUOTE]
