[QUOTE="pewter, post: 451531, member: 15463"] Thanks for the answer Phil D, it makes sense now. I didnt dare use anything to cut the metal in case of fire risk, and fear of the flat below. *replacing a consumer unit mounted on a plaster and lath wall, i needed to trim a bit of wood mounted behind as the tails needed to enter the fuse board on the opposite side to the old one. I trimmed the wood behind with a slightly blunt multi tool. The smoldering cut bit of wood wouldnt pull through, as i poked it i knew it was the wrong thing to do. It fell in the cavity, which then started smoking. I poured 4 cups of water down the small hole to put out the smoldering in the cavity. Luckily the water drained out the bottom onto the communal stair case and was soaked up by the carpet. :facepalm: [/QUOTE]
