Plasterer due in a week and realised I have these cables (I presume cables underneath cannot actually see) covered in plastic sheathing attached to wall quite firmly above light switches that I really wanted covered and incorporated in wall

I know that parts of the house were rewired about 8 years ago when bathroom and kitchen extension were done.

What is the cheapest and quickest options can post a pic if needed
Thanks

    Think you will need to post pictures.

    What do you need to do to move these cables ? Would this mean having to remove plasterboard sections etc and for cables to neatly be secured to wooden battens behind. I would have thought this would have been done when the house was re-wired or perhaps they did not want to go to this extent.

    What is the construction of the walls ?
