Chasing Cables for Shower Advice

[SarahCollen]

What sort of Domestic Installer can't work in a bathroom or new builds.....you've lost me know are you registered Domestic Installer or not?

I am a qualified Domestic Installer with Part P Qualification, I could do all the work but some of it would need signing off by a fully qualified electrician. I'm not doing any of this myself, I just wanted clarity on the cabling which you've now all helped with. I'm a plumber and I took the Part P to cover the basics in electrical work if I needed it. The shower is a new install not an upgrade. I'm off to bed. thanks again ?

People with bit of knowledge, you employed him on recommendation, first you have to understand how a building is constructed to then understand what he has done to install the cable the way he did, how would you have installed the cable.

Sorry Phil I don't understand what your saying. And neither am I going to say how I'd install it. I charge for that sort of advice/work, not give it away free on the internet.

Nice neat rectangle holes cut out over the studs, 20mm holes through the studs, feed cable through, replace rectangle cut outs and fill. Too late for that now though!

In an ideal world, cable through holes drilled in the noggins half way through the wall.... but it’s not ideal is it.

Multi tool or drill to check slots into the wood, so cable lies behind the plasterboard.

If it was a brick wall, cable would be just under the plaster, not 50mm in, and would be rcd protected.... which this circuit will be, being a new circuit in a bathroom.
