I can't see a problem,
But if you've overboarded a wall with foam and plasterboard, are drywall backboxes OK (regs wise) for sockets?

Yes, but you will have to trim back the insulation, so the box ears can fit in. It may be easier to fit metal boxes. if you have a solid back to screw them to.
You are quite right. I seem to have delevoped an aversion to noise and mess though. I'm getting soft.
I fitted metal back boxes on the original wall with conduit, and then cut out a rectangular hole in the 'celotex' to fit around it.
