    Cables in cavities (Sorry!)

    Alarm / coax....yeah if its good enough for NTL :) then crack on! One could argue it would be practical to put in a drip loop if being fussy.

    elctric shock

    To be honest Momin, if it was MY daughter....and the neighbour refused to name the person who could have killed her...

    Re-using holes in joists...

    Indeed I can't see why not too, cheers. To drill new ones to satisfy regs would be cutting off nose to spite face :)

    Re-using holes in joists...

    House to flat conversion dilemma

    Hi Jonny, Because it's such a tiny shared area between the two flats (about 2m!!) it just seemed excessive having a complete separate supply. But a shared area it is and like you point out this will involve applying regs as such relating to e/l. Time to to stick my nose furthur into my...
