[QUOTE="Blue Fox, post: 70211, member: 1888"] Hello all, been to look at a job job today and whilst there customer comented on a light switch which is coming off the wall. Took it off and no back box, no problem I'll put one in and all sorted, but then realised why there was no back box - the plasterboard walls are too close to fit a dry lining box, there is only a approx 5mm gap between plasterboards and original switch had been screwed into wall but this has caused wall to break up over the years. Anyone got any ideas on this? Was thinking of fitting a 16mm patress box as last option but custmer really wants it set into the wall. [/QUOTE]
