I have a job of running a new cable to a DBB. The 16A MCB is in place and the oven is rated at 3.9kw so needs to hard wired. The customer has tiled walls and will not allow me to remove them to run the cable. He wants the oven switch surface mounted.
I have approx 0.5m of cable from DBB to the surface mounted switch which will be for the oven

The switch is a fair distance from the oven but what would you guy recommend using as trunking for a surface mounted cable?

Thanks

I largely do domestic with, very fortunately, a very good client base. I am not your typical tradesman in a lot of ways I would say, which maybe allows me to price at the higher end of domestic. Only time my invoices have been questioned is by one particular landlord, but he was fine when we discussed it and I still work for him now.

I would like to get into more commercial work, largely for variety and out of interest, more than anything else. The only downside I envisage with commercial is it would likely be more demanding in terms of working out of hours and maybe more callout.

I do not wish to do industrial work and never felt any inclination to. Dislike cable tray, unistrut, scissor lifts, hi vis and steelies, etc etc! Oh, and I look like a paedo when I put a hard hat on!
 
i've been doing mailnly domestic for the last few years and, apart from repeat work from regular customers, i hate it. sick of scratching around for a few quid, price being contested, extra work added at no additional cost, plumbers banging their plastic spagetti above my cable runs so i can't get my grubby mitts inbeing asked to work barefoot as they have new carpets laid when i'm half way through a job. dosing up with anti-histamines coz they have 4 cats pi$$ing all over the house, would love to get back into industrial but sadly too old now apart from some occasional subbing work.

Can you hear me playing the worlds smallest violin? :lips:
