Recessing a light pull switch into plaster coving

[Risteard]

Me neither and I'm not sure @Risteard is coming back to enlighten us the need for smashing things with hammers or who is doing the periodic inspections in private housing in the UK?

I'm not sure partially setting them into the decorative coving as I suggest is really recessing as such, they're still surface mounted with respect to the ceiling itself.

Every installation is supposed to be periodically inspected and tested as prescribed by BS7671.
