[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 23422, member: 1531"] Funnily enough I was wondering this today. I always cap cable to protect them. At least then I know ive done everything I can. Im wiring an extension at the moment at the back of a house and its all going to be dot and dabbed. Got me thinking is it really necessary. I will continue to do it though. I notice alot of these firms wiring new builds for Wimpy or Redrow etc dont bother... ever. My brother in law lives in a new build. I altered the kitchen electrics for him a year or so back when he was having a new kitchen fitted. Got to see some of the cable runs where patches of plasterboard had been stripped off to allow them to fit wall units straight into the brick/block. Terrible it was. Keeping your runs horizontal and vertical went out the window with the guys who wired his place. The 6mm for the cooker was clipped down the wall like a letter "S"! [/QUOTE]
