I screw wood battens (1 x 1/2" or so) to the back of the plasterboard
and fix a metal box to those. Handy in a partition wall. It sounds
quite long winded but doesn't actually add much time to the
installation. Of course I realise a pro sparks wouldn't have the time
for this.


I bet have enough time do that in their own house:-)

;-) Put it this way - it makes the box to plasterboard fixing as strong as
the plasterboard. It also allows easy and perfect lining up of two or more
boxes close by. You do usually need to drill extra holes in the boxes,
though. To pick up near the middle of the batten.
