PTFE on a self tapper, bang it in and jobs a good'un
I have definitely not repaired a CH pipe with this method before that I drilled through

the day was going so well!
was given the job of refixing the over bed light that had been ripped from the fixings
std practice is to fix a back board once the conduit box is broken beyond repair
someone else had already measured up and had the boards made
there was no indication the pipes were there as the outlet is to the right beside the curtain the wrong side the nurse call panel
anyway tiz done now
you wouldnt believe the proscess of getting that pipe dead and repaired needless to say its going to cost a few ££

Surely working in that environment you'd have a pipe/wiring detector?

They are pretty crap to be honest!
Paul, why couldn't you replace the conduit box? Or was it fitted with pots behind the plaster no chance of changing?
In that case i just redrill holes in the back of the box and thread them then just use longer brass screws to fix in. Job done!

Meh, I still use it if I need it in bulk, but for the majority of my job where gripfill would apply, I use sticks like sh*t instead.

Agreed, as long as you don't get that non solvent bollocks it's good as gold.

Dry lining is such a shit building method.
Why not plaster the blockwork and have a solid wall?
As a bricklayer and plasterer I find it ridiculous that it is even still a thing.

100% agreed with this. I hate new builds with a passion for this reason. Especially when you get pikeys these days rush things so much but providing it all looks ok on the surface its fine.
I went through a 230v cable a while back. Could see where it was leaving the panel so you would think they would follow the safe zones right? No. It went at a 45 degree angle behind the board!

I have definitely not repaired a CH pipe with this method before that I drilled through 
I've gotta sat I saw the pic and straight up legit thought of this as an appropriate repair. Get it tight in there and bolt cropper the rest of the screw off and hide the evidence with plaster.
No evidence, no witnesses, no crime.
