RE: [KAT5] RE: Rewire Planning

Ben,

Yes, you must keep the Low Voltage and mains physically separated. That
means
running separate trunking but you still save hassle by doing it at the same
time. One other thing to watch out for is the rules for drilling holes or
cutting slots in joists which are not obvious.
