Hello,
A cable for a light switch got lost inside a stud wall. It's a long story but I think that what we thought was plasterboard-void-plasterboard has turned out to be plasterboard-void-plasterboard-plasterboard-void-plasterboard and the cable was behind a hidden inner wall!
I used a Zircon stud detector (see other post) and that gave me a lot of false positives so I've made a few holes looking! I'm just wondering what to do for the best. On the one hand the wall is still quite sturdy: there is still more plasterboard than holes! If I just fill the holes, this might be quickest but is it a bodge?
Would I be better to cut the holey section back to the nearest stud, put in a couple of noggins and re-plasterboard the resulting rectangle? Or am I just making unnecessary work for myself?
Thanks, Stephen.
