Discuss Cabling in wall cavity ? in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net
Thanks for the quick responses.
We will be dot and dab plaster boarding so would normally channel out a bit to ensure that the plasterboard isn't impeded by the cabling.
Under the 17th edition what are the requirements for protecting the cable in this situation. The last electrician I had do some work for me said that we would have to either earth metal capping or fit an RCBO in the panel.

I don't have an electrician on this job yet. I understand the difference between an RCD and an RCBO just wondered why there seems to be a preference to individual circuit RCBO's.
No sweat.

Thanks again guys for the help.
The property had a full safety test when I moved in so I know I am starting from a sound position.
The electrical work required for my extension is in the form of additions to existing circuits so as such is not notifiable under Part P (2010). When I have further work carried out later that is notifiable, when completed, I will have the whole house retested.
