    Cables run in cavity between block and brick of an internal wall

    Sadly where I live there is a major shortage of skills and people don't like small jobs (I count extensions in this category) so bump the price up to lose the work. However if they do win they then rush the job and do the bare minimum. As an example of overpricing I was quoted £700 to wall...

    Cables run in cavity between block and brick of an internal wall

    Thank you all for your advice. I think my original question was answered as well as an interesting debate on best practice for doing the works and having it signed off. I'm definitely speaking to building control and will take it from there. On the topic of saving money yes that is a big part...

    Cables run in cavity between block and brick of an internal wall

    Cables run in cavity between block and brick of an internal wall

    Thanks for the quick responses. I'm not an electrician but will be doing the work myself and have paid the extra for not being a competent persons and getting building control to sign it off. The extension is a 2 storey side so I want a lighting circuit for upstairs and down, and it also...

    Cables run in cavity between block and brick of an internal wall

    Hello, I'm currently in the process of building a side extension. I will be putting in 2 new rings and 2 new lighting circuits. To get them from the CU to the extension I wanted to run them in the cavity of the old external wall (now internal because there is an extension on the other side)...
