Antoher domestic question. Can I just grind out a wall?

[Inteificio]

Hi,

Need to get power across a wall in a domestic.

Would not be an issue apart from the wall is poorly finished and ancient.
It is wobbly and badly plastered.

Client suggested minitrunking.

I think that will look **** as the wall is not level.

I am fitting RCDs so thinking just grinding out a small slot sticking wire in and filling.

Regs seems to suggest that is fine, but just seems wrong to me.

Anyone more experienced in domestic have anything to add (that would be almost everyone here ;-) )

Never had a problem with dust when using my twin blade grinder + Hoover attached. Its when you come to chip the rest out with the Kango I find the dust starts up.

And unless you are insane I'd never use a standard grinder in an occupied property. Don't think you can ever cover and seal up everything in a room, it will be all around the house. Plus it sits in the air for ages.

Well just went around to finalise and measure up....total change of plan from client.

All major works delayed until next year, just doing a few switches/sockets and putting lights up.

much easier =-)

Seems I have a few months to plan on what to do.
I picked up a wallchaser with dust extractor earlier today, be returning that tomorrow!

Thanks all.
