Content: As there was a light switch there, the electric drew around it from the back. It's obviously best to do this side first before plasterboarding the opposite. Then, using a plasterboard cutting knife, I carefully cut out the hole. My Dad specific said don't cut too tight to the pencil lines. I cut dead on them instead. Then hold the plasterboard to the ceiling and screw as normal. FILLING IN THE GAPS NEAR THE SKIRTING BOARD
As the plasterboard was a touch shorter than the height of the plasterboard, we had some gaps to fill. So my Dad cut some strips for the bottom area that I screwed on as normal. So this is how it's looking at the moment. The electrician still has a few jobs to do, so we haven't added plasterboard on this side.
