Cabling Question



Sorry Mal but you're not 100% correct.

You are allowed to install power and lighting circuit cabling without any
protection as long as it runs either vertically or horizontally from a
socket or switch, or if it is with 150mm? of a ceiling or a corner, IIRC.
If you decide to run it diagonally across a wall or through a wall and up
the other side as I have done on several occasions then you are required to
protect it .

My plasterer wasn't very happy when I told him that I wasn't obliged to cap
the majority of my cables.
He advised that I should cap the cabling in order to avoid any damage being
done it whilst he was plastering.
I used cheap galvanised capping which is very easy to cut and fix and should
offer enough resistance to a masonry drill for people to realise that there
is a cable in the wall.
