How can you say that when you know nothing of the rationale behind it? Its dirt cheap and noise on the overall rewiring cost and the convenience in this case outweighs the cost.
Just think of the problem when trying to install cable tray in a rewire, and for your information, I have probably rewired more properties than you have had hot dinners, 600mm cabletray between joist my foot.
Out of interest, what rationale are we thinking about?
Its part of the core cabling for the house and will likely need to run additional cables in future. This run joins consumer unit at one end with main riser to floors 2, 3 & loft at other end. The cable tray will run parallel with joists, and beneath will be a sections of ceiling that are designed to be easily removed. Will make things super convenient and helps with future proofing.
Yes I know, but as the idea was to use unnecessary methods I thought I'd stick with the plan.
What about the emergency services its a hazard.
Use the tray as main bonding conductor. It just needs painting green and yellow its entire length ?
Why? 2ft tray's ideal for breakfast in bed..
You would need to lift a hell of a lot of flooring to work to your plan Mate, and what about cutting notches in the joists? your method would destroy most of the joists.
Girt big ones with a smirk on my face.
What? a sketch of your plan would help in understanding your ideas.
