    Installation in a wooden building.

    Evening.. Just pricing up for a full rewire of a 3 storey fulley wooden building, just wondering if there are any special considerations to adhere to? I have seen the fire putty and intrumescent sleeves for the back of sockets, but wondering if these are required or just recommended. Cheers

    SWA CLEATS IN WOODEN GARDEN SHED

    Is there any requirement or logic to using fire-retardant cable cleats for SWA inside a wooden shed? There will be a 2 metre vertical run and a 3 metre horizontal run of 4mm 3 core SWA.
