Any ideas what to do here?

The plasterboard is dot and dabbed and it's been taken your for some wires to go through? I thought of knocking out anothe 2inches either side for a new price of plaster board dot and dabbed over it so that the wired don't have plaster lead adhesive on them, is that the best way round it or would I be able to 1 coat it over the wires?

Bond it out then skim

As above, bond and skim

As above but sparks should have put metal trunking protector over them.

or you could wedge some stainless mesh in and bond and skim... that way you stand a chance getting cables out later...

No longer required to cap over them apparently.

First time I come across no cap pings was more than ten year back, had a go with electrician and he told me he no longer needed too. I told him he's rough as f**k and later found out that he didn't need to use it.although every decent sparky still will

All the Sparks use them round here that's why I thaught it was a mandatory thing. It does p1ss me of when they don't bury them deep enough in chases though.

Ive just done an extension where he hadnt used any sheathing but i dont like it as when dabbing boards you often need to dab near the boxes and the cables get the odd dab.

Its the lazy sparks who dont cap em, usually leave 3ft of wire sticking out the box aswell, any decent spark will cap em.
