Hi..I had some partition walls re slabbed and skimmed so a sheet of plasterboard was put on top of the old board and skimmed, as they were in bad condition and removed the cavity boxes for the sockets so the plasterers could do the work and now the cavity boxes that were in the wall wont fit as the lugs on the boxes are not deep enough approx 30mm with the 2 sheets of plasterboard and skimcoat.
