Alternative way of chasing walls

[joelypops]

Was speaking to a mate of mine who used to be a sparky before part p etc, and he qas explaining how when rewiring a property he used to drill from the switch straight up and into the ceiling cavity above with a long masonry bit. He has just done it in his new place and although I am very impressed with how quick and mess free it is, I cant help but think it will be violating zoning regs etc. I have been through the BGB and the OSG and cant really find anything.. what are your thoughts?

Yes but not like Billy from DIY SOS he used a claw hammer for Christ's sake, bound to bust your knuckles using that sort of ammer

You're never going to get the angle right on it. I reckon you'd end up in the room behind before you get to the ceiling.

Alternative way of chasing walls

Hammer AND bolster?

Grinder,safety glasses and sds drill

Stop when the dust is thick enough to cut with a knife and leave till it settles.

Then knock out with sds
