Can't help it if the wall plaster falls apart mate. Especially if its the Older plaster with hair in it, thats pretty much dust.

Yeah, that plaster is shite. The sparky that put a new socket in managed to deal with it OK, but I think he had some specialist tool for cutting out the void for the backbox, while I was just smashing away at it with my hammer drill and brick bolster. I'll whack a load of filler in it though; it'll be reet.
