    I allways cap cables up whether its new build, re-wire or whatever. Just today the joiner managed to slice through 2 cat5 cables, everywhere had been plastered and decorated. It was'nt a problem to tie on and pull 2 new cables from ground floor upto 2nd with no damage.

    i allways cap on new build and use metal conduit in none safe zones but to use condit in safe zones when there is no need you must be putting some big bills in

    How does that make him a weirdo then?
    Nothing wrong with running oval conduit in walls. It protects cable from the plasterers trowel. It is also better than capping when the wall is being rendered and skimmed due to the fact that sometimes plasterers are stingy with the render causing the skim to be paper thin over the capping, you don't get that with oval.

    Cause that would be over the top, you know that. Some of us professional sparks own an item called a chasing tool, it makes a 30mm x 20mm chase in a wall and sucks up the dust. Pretty easy to put 20mm conduit in that size hole, dont you think????????? Sounds like your the one creating harder work for yourself by chasing out by hand lol

    only sparks know where the safe zones are,so they are pretty pointless
