    Light/switch fittings

    Hi guys, hope all is well. Getting hallway and stairs replastered/skimmed, do the light switches/light fittings need removing altogether for it to be replastered or is it a case of simply just unscrewing the fronts? I know they might be silly question to some but just want to make sure. Thank you
