    Do I need to use trunking ?

    Nice!! Google says if the cables are not more than 50mm in the wall they should be mechanically protected and/or backed up by RCD. Since the cable is just behind the plasterboard and curvy it is RCD protected at the CU and we are going off a fused spur I’m going to assume plastic trunking just...

    Do I need to use trunking ?

    I guess this boils down to whether you can run electric cable through the pink fluffy stuff without shielding . So what do the regs say about it ??

    Chasing ring main cable into wall - DIYer

    Not sure about being part of a ring final circuit...assume it’s ok as it was already there. Original socket is just above skirting. Spur will be slightly higher around 20 cm on other wall (to line up with others in room ) so chasing on first wall will slope up slightly say 20cm up over 2...
