C'mon guys, please cut him some slack with the NICEIC thing, he's obviously not in the industry so it wasn't a malicious comment.
With regard to the questions in the OP there's still many sparkies around who can work with the mineral insulated cabling. Secondly with a little time and a cable-finder or tone set there's no reason an experienced electrician couldn't map out the existing cable runs fairly accurately. Finally I'd suggest you have all the circuits tested for continuity and insulation resistance before you plaster up any chases, that way it will be easier to localise any damage you may have caused.
