Which route would you take here for trunking at CU?

[Iain Kay]

I've been looking at a route to run mini trunking (16x25) from CU to a cupboard and from there on to another room.

Got most of the route planned in terms of getting from the room to the cupboard and from the cupboard to hall ceiling.

Now I'm looking at options to get from the ceiling down to the CU.

Is there any issue with running trunking down the pink route shown below?

Or would the green be a better option to go with, albeit less tidy looking as it would have to go over the doorframe.

If there had been at least a separate ring circuit for the kitchen, I would not be looking to push this, so landlord could either install additional circuits that would support any tenant (at LLs cost) or allow current tenant to safely modify the installation to suit their needs (at tenants cost).

Either way, I have to request this so that I'm not in breach of the tenancy agreement with regards to not overloading the electrics system installed.

As I previously contributed there is absolutely no requirement for existing installations to be changed ............ and if I were your landlord, I would not be letting a tenant under take such works.

Sparks have qualifications and PL insurance .................

It's the landlords electricians that came out to investigate my breaker flipping and their opinion was that this would be a solution to the problem.

I discussed my studying for my level 2 with them and advised I had all materials and would be keen to get my hands as dirty as they'll let me.

How is any of this in any way an issue if the LL and electricians are happy?

I'm genuinely interested as I will be looking to find work and I thought that doing work alongside a qualified spark was a fine way to do it?

Right now, I'm putting together the design but this will be sent via them and they're in charge in terms of what happens from there.

I just want to be as hands on as I can with this, but make no mistake the qualified sparks are in charge.

Yes they will be monitoring you well and truly now mate, wait for the knock on the door early hours, or a mysterious phone call when you least expect it, I know.

If not with that smart meter spinning round at 100mph sending info back there sure to call the rozzers thinking he has got a pot farm on the go.
