UK Housebashing wiring helped

[Shpark]

Hi all, not a housebasher here, so don’t hate. Wiring my house and need advice. Want to mount the CCU just below the ceiling and bring the cables from the floor above. How do a nicely bring the cable off of the beam so they’re on the wall and then will go into the back of the fuse board? Pics attached

This one could fit around the joist quite neatly:

Legrand and many others offer these purpose made duct's to take a DB, CU or whatever you want to call, they are floor to ceiling units and tidy up what could be a messy area: https://www.leroymerlin.fr/produits...l-legrand-h-260-x-l-25-x-p-6-cm-70564011.html

Certainly something like that could make it a whole lot more presentable and still have good electrical ease of support.

Really like the look of those ducts/spreaders. Can't imagine they're cheap and the linked site won't let me in, but I've never seen anything like this in a domestic situation. In fact I've never seen anything like it in PVC.

VPN gives access. Spreader is 23.90 Euros, and the spreader/duct in post #50 is 45.90 Euros.

They are the norm in most new builds in Europe, usually accompanied by an additional vertical duct for communication equipment.

And what about the part p.

I take it this is just a refurb of a house and there's no extensions going on where planning and building control are involved. If there is then your DB needs to be a lot lower.
