Got a couple of jobs coming up which are a little tricky to say the least.
First one, I need to run main bonds to the intake positons of the gas and water supply pipes. Problem being their at the opposite end of the house to the distribution board. Upstairs is laminate flooring throughout.
The easiest and most hassle free way I can see is the drill out of the house near the distribution board and route the cable around the house at low level to the position of the incoming supply and then drill back in and bond.
My question is would surface clipping suffice or would any regulations, building or electrical, only allow this if its in conduit of some kind?
Obviously to clip it would be far easier, quicker and cheaper but I need to know my options before passing on a price.
Second problem is an elderly couple who have had a new kitchen fitted, painted and decorated to the point of completion when all of a sudden they've finally twigged that some electricity in the room might be a nice idea.
Once again my options to limit mess and disruption are limited but im wondering if I can run t&e etc around the room under the kitchen units loosely andn then looping up to the various sockets. Again I know its not ideal but I dont even think ive got room under there to get a hammer to clip the 2.5mm along the skirting to keep it up off the floor.
Dont you just love this job
