Insulation etc

[revolt3k]

What cables you guys using when running in stood wall's, and ceiling's that will be insulated.(mainly new builds) Allot of other sparks dont do cable calcs for factors such as insulation and are just running 2.5 for sockets and 1mm for lights even tho they will be totally surrounded by insulation.

Never been to a house yet that has 4mm for sockets and 1.5+ for all lights?

Lenny just out of intrest If its a upstairs ring 4 bed house and each room has 4 twin sockets in would you really wire 2 rings.?

Sorry, this was then answer for your question Scott.

I think so.

Another point of view is the whole re-wire aspect of it. It's got to be easier to wire two rooms and finish with carpets back and furniture replaced than to try and do all four rooms at once particularly if it's occupied???.

You would have to speak to the rewire boys about that !

Personly i would not .But then the main reason i come on this forum is to learn a bit about what others think and do .
