sets of wires coming into such a small space. Endless fiddling to get
everything to slide down for access, then slide back up again to refit
the rose. Also doing it perched on a set of steps looking up.

The reason for these loop in etc ceiling roses is they are quick to
install and economical with cable. But you're not forced to use them - you
could do it the old way using junction boxes in a more accessible place.
Or even just one larger box with all the connections in it - if you're not
worried about cable costs or installation time.

But if you wish to provide access to the top of the existing roses before
you've laid the flooring, cut out the size of trap you want, screw and
glue battens to the underneath of the boarding round the outside of the
hole and screw the 'lid' to them.
