I have a couple in the conservatory where the plaster is bowed in, leaving a 3mm gap on top of the socket in the centre section.
OK - it's not really unsafe, but it is in breach of the regs which is IP4x (and I *think* tha applies to accessories as well as tops of consumer units).
Either way, it's a bit tatty, but also a little bit tricky to fill.
Anyoen go any time saving tips for how to run a line of something behind the plate without making a mess of a painted wall?
I was wondering if masking tape to the back of the plate along the top, a bead of caulk then screw the plate back and wipe off the excess might be one way? Caulk being stickier than filler plus coming out of a tube.
Loosen plate when set and remove masking tape...
