I'm just wondering if anyone, and I'm sure you do have any stories or downright misinformation from the description in the title?
I helped a mate do a rewire on an ex council property, empty, and very little furniture left, easy you say, well yes it was apart from one annoying problem, the down stairs floor was floor boarded apart from the Kitchen and a strip of about 4 foot from the front door running right across the house to the back door which meant, no access from the lounge to the dinning / Kitchen area. Could have run our RFC, cooker, gas and water bonds and the 4mm radial for the Kitchen up and over. So we opted to use the area under the stairs as an access the floor was concrete which meant liaising with the customer and the builder, as to the usage of this very small but useful area, were they intending to box it in that sort of thing. No we are going to use it which meant we had to run some containment (plastic 75mm x 75mm trunking around this area a right tight and difficult job, cut to the chase first fix finished let us know when the painting is done and we can come back and finish the job, "righty oh sparky give you a bell" couple of weeks get the call, goes back and what have the barstewards done? yep you've guessed boarded over our nice trunking jobs, couldn't say a great deal as the buider was the customers Brother just had to bite the bullet, dipsticks, sorry for the long post.
