Re: [OT] Taking mains wires to the consumer unit

[Simon Pawson <simonp1234@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

this company's products may do what you want. Specifically:

http://www.envirograf.com/products/product025.html

although they have other products that may be of interest.

I got the link from the UK.D-i-y group from a while ago as I must do
something similar to my garage (conventional double plasterboard ceiling
though).

Hope it helps,

Simon
