Discuss chasing into concrete screed floors - a risk to the neighbour's lights? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Have you thought about battening the ceiling for your cables and pipes? I would not entertain chiding screed tbh, although I doubt the cables for downstairs are in there.

why not? I have considered battening ceiling tho that would be required in 3 rooms and then I'd have surface mounted cables and pipes upstairs - figured it's better to do the entire job properly, full repipe and rewire chased into the floor and walls.

have an appointment with a structural engineer tomorrow for £450 + VAT. :(
 
<< really frustrating job this, if there are any certified NICEIC sparks reading this who are keen to take it on, get in touch. location: dalston, london. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What's so special about NICEIC ???????????


Get on my ---- this does.
:32:

I've been trying to hire an electrician off the net, you get people saying they're 'qualified', the council says they require proof of the certifications posted above and they can't provide it. Apologies I only posted niceic, it's just the first one that came to mind. The point was that I required someone with certification to please the council who will inspect the work.
 
What a load of tosh " not to mention it's not much more expensive to do a full rewire than to find someone who can repair MICC ." repairing MICC is as easy, that was first year apprentice stuff lol

Good man. You don't want a vertical close encounter with downstairs.
