(2) I really, really hate it when the ceiling rose has three or

to get everything to slide down for access, then slide back up

looking up.

I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned this type of product as a
possible solution to Problem 2:

This is but one example, but there are lots out there - all with
terminals into which you push a number of bare wires, which it grips
and connects together. Some systems have free-standing multi-way
connectors, and a box to contain them[1]. They should easily fit in
the space between ceiling and boards.

They are brillaint.

(Possibly too busy giving the ex-GF an extended seeing-to?!)

Or at work:-)
