Making good

Chris Pearson
After a rather hard day on site today (daughter's rewire) Mrs P said that if she was paying an electrician, she wouldn't necessarily get the chases filled. I said that an electrician would if she paid him (or her). Then Mrs P said that an electrician would never repaint the wall. I said that an electrician would if she paid him (or her).


Who is correct?

    The secret is not to make the chases too wide. Remove any dust with a brush before filling with white filler or finishing plaster. Gently spray the chase to be filled with a little water, either moderately splashed from a paint brush or sprayed from a water sprayer bottle. Use a filler that does not shrink or crack. One is available from S-Fix. it is a white powder and needs water added to make a gloopy consistency. I have been known to strip cable ends in readiness for connecting to a new socket before  plastering a chase next to the metal box. The cable is also held very securely by cable clips to stop movement after plastering and disturbing the new plaster.  This is a good system if you are in a hurry and need to install a new socket and liven it up in one visit.
