Have been asked to look at refixing someone aerial cables outside after they had there soffits replaced. they don't like the idea of conduit and asked for trunking. Am i right in thinking that trunking will crack or warp when fitted outside due to the elements etc. Has anyone got any other ideas (good ones) any help gratefull
yeah do actually figaro amazing how you never actually answer any questions just criticize others. I was asking for an alternative
What type of exterior wall is it Sparky..ie is it pebble dashed, or rendered, or bricks showing etc etc After we ascertain this, then perhaps a suitable method of fixing the AE cable to the wall can be ascertained.
figaro you need a clip round the ear, Neatest place if possible, for an aerial downlead is behind a downpipe, with colour coordinating cable ties. Don't fancy the trunkin, rather clip it.
Sorry guys walls are pebble dash all the way up to the soffit 5 aerial cables in total no access into loft as flat roofs cheers for help
Well you could use SWA cleats behind the pipe..ok a bit of scrunging here and there, and perhaps the downpipe might pull of the wall a bit..but what the eck like..
What a shame..lovely pebble dash with cables going up it. You must be able to quote on an interior run? this will preserve the exterior aesthetics of the establishment Sparky
Plastic gutters, plastic soffits, plastic bumpers, we live in a plastic world...slap it in, and quit worrying.
think i will go down the interior route jp until they tell me they don;t like trunking inside might pass the job on. cheers for your help guys
