How to render around a power box?

IMG_9159.jpeg

 

what’s the best way to deal with these electrical power outlets? I want to render behind the box. 
Is it get an electrician to remove and then I render then get them back to reinstall? Or can they come away a bit whilst I apply render behind?

Re: what to do with rendering and power box

Hi @JamesG,

 

It's likely best to have an electrician remove the outlet, allowing you to render behind it. They'll then need to re-install it after you have finished. They might be able to disconnect it from the wall temporarily. Still, I would advise leaving that to the professionals instead of risking doing the work yourself and trying to loosen it.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell
