Hi Guys, I've completed rewires with hollow walls before and was able to use a dry line Box. No chance of being able to use them this time.

I've never seen walls like this though. Just wondering how people have installed back boxes in this circumstance? I've attached a pic

I'm assuming Fire resistant Expanding foam or Plaster? Prob need the version which dries the quickest as ill need to start runnung cables asap.

Your helps appreciated

Additional sockets on stud wall.

An example of the long term race to the bottom of quality of work in our industry, IMHO.
