I am carrying out a rewire and it will form my assessment piece for a scheme membership. I have a query regarding whether to chase out a wall in order to get the cables up to the first and second floors, or place inside the cavity as it was previously wired. A 17th edition board is going to be fitted so presumably chasing will be ok the cable will be less than 50mm from the surface but will be RCD protected. Advantage of cavity less mess.
Next question,
When distributing circuits, 1st floor lights ground floor sockets on one side Ground floor lights and 1st floor sockets on the other. What would you guys reccomend regarding adding the second floor to this arrangement. I would like to just add in to first floor sockets and lighting as the cable is pretty much up there as against bringing cable all the way from downstairs. Would this be ok its part of an assessment piece don't forget.
Any suggestions welcome.
