Ive been to look at a ground floor flat rewire. The flat is empty and has good access , however i could do with some tips on cable runs from someone whos done this before with the concrete top and bottom . The ceiling is quite low , so lowering it and running the cables above would be a last resort.
lol, nice one sine. The flat is damp , so it would be interesting to see what the sticky back would be like after a few weeks. youd need a machete to get through the flat
Vertical chases as normal, cables clipped horizontal at ceiling level then plaster coving, thats the way to do it.
or chisel into the plaster if theres no coving, within 6" of the roof. or just don't bother and find a better job to do
Thanks lads , the 150mm from ceiling were my initial thoughts , but the coving would save on the bashing. would the run to the pendent need to be in earth sheath?
You can buy some really nice looking trunking solutions but its that bit across the ceiling that really looks s##te. 14th
I did it with that coving trunking, and just chopped in the drops down. Makes it a bit pricey tho, looks nice tho when finished. And fairley easy to add stuff later on.
