To plasterboard a ceiling and wall, do i need to remove the electric fittings firstmost please?
Do i need to power down the system wiring as well please? And can I just stick the plaster / browning on the wall bricks instead – after sealing these of course?
O n the ceiling the light fixtures need to be taken down..on the wall just pull the outlet covers off but not the outlets themselves…when you take the ceiling fixtures off..put a "scotch lock" on each wire and tuck the wires into the box it is attached to..You cut the holes that go over the electrical boxes in the plaster board and slip it over them..

I would shut down any circuit where water/plaster is likely to enter a fitting , such as a metal mounting box. Better safe than sorry.
