chasing wall for consumer unit cables or trunking ... Advice needed

[King84]

Hi everyone I am after a bit of advice.

Just done rewiring for a property but the main incoming supply cable is just right next to the main entrance door so agreed with the customer to install a new consumer unit right above the meter as shows in the picture.

The lighting circuit and upstairs sockets tails dropped down right above from the ceiling in the corner but as the customer said he will put a big enclosure around the consumer unit at later date so my question is do I chase the wall for cables and put them behind capping or just used maxi trunking in the corner to keep the cables that dropped down from ceiling.
My concern is if I chase cable and put them in caping so at later date when someone gets the enclosure done might drive a nail or something in to the wall but just any idea or sugguestions welcome.

p.s downstair sockets and kitchen sockets will come from ground floor so as they would be coming from down below so will be using couple of pvc conduits with female adaptors for neat entry in to consumer unit but just need to decide from the top
thanks

I normally use a rems electric threader, lots of cutting oil and run it dead slow. I've not had any issues hand threading it though.

Good to know. I'd expected 304 or 316 would need a harder alloy than most dies sets are made of.
