How to accomodate for light and power switches with VJ panelling?
So after plenty of posts getting tips a few things will happen this long weekend.
First is our single VJ wall. It's going over the existing wall in a new room. Will remove the skirting and go from there.
My question is that I have 4 switches - 2 light switches, 2 powerpoints. Power will be isolated in the house while I work on the wall so that I can remove the cover plates.
So you guys suggest I unscrew the plate from the C Clip, cut a small hole in the JV that will allow it to slide through, and then mount like that? I really cannot afford a $200+ visit from my sparky again to remove them entirely.
Clearly I wont be actually relocating the points on the wall or mucking with them, purely removing the font plate so that I can slide them diagonally through the hole in the panelling to remount.
Thanks
Solved! See most helpful response

Hi @MikeTNZ
Thank you for sharing your detailed recommendations. I believe that it is vital that local council rules in the area relating to electrical work be adhered to in order to avoid any future mishaps.
