Can anyone tell me if it is legitimate to install cables into a chase in a lath & plaster ceiling and then plaster over? The reason I'm asking is because I have been asked to quote for replacement of a vermin damaged lighting circuit which is above a lath & plaster ceiling and there is no access to it from above and the customer would like the cable protected from any possible future vermin damage.
BTW I just asked NICEIC tech help and was told I couldn't unless it was provided with mechanical protection as it's less than 50mm above the ceiling which I can see the point of if it was running through a joist but it isn't.
Cheers
