Either just put some kind of inspection hatch over each ceiling rose -
something low profile like a metal plate which can have stuff placed on
it when not being accessed - or bring the wiring up through the floor
into some kind of junction box so that each light fitting only has two
wires and the wiring is easily available on the loft floor.

But the boarding panels ain't down yet. Is it worth paying out for all
that? I'd just cut out my own traps.


Well, some of the boarding isn't down, some is down but coming up
temporarily, and at some point there will be the issue of the light
fittings at the front of the house which are boarded over.
I will also (I have just realised) have to sort out ducting for the
ceiling fan(s) in the bathroom coming up through the floor.
Could do cutouts but a hole saw might be easier.

I quite like the flat bit which stops you going too deep :-)

The flat bit also has teeth to cut a rebate into the top of the board
for the plate to sit in.
