Perfect, yep was being specific to rewires rather than new build.I’ve voted oval as you say rewire. New build that’s traditional build then capping.
Nope, not really bothered about those.No option for timber frame houses that are plaster boarded, tape and filled.
Thanks.depends on the build type ............. and what I have to hand - but normally capping
Thanks.Capping on bare walls, round conduit if it's chopping in on existing walls.
Shear curiosity coming from the other thread about capping tbh. You are curious about what we use, a couple of posts have made me more curious about what you guys use. Thought a poll would be easier than a mountain of questions, and with most things there are some good responses with information as well.Wots this all about 123?

Why? You have to make the chases extra wide just to fit it in.
The intent of this poll/thread is not for what you would do on new builds or extensions where you are looking at block walls to start from. It's for what you would use on the rewire/refurb type of jobs...where cables will need chased in regardless of the job being in Northern Ireland/Scotland/Wales/England.Read my post again ....

Will it change how I do things - not likely. Will I learn something from it, possibly.
Forgot to account for the fact there is always gonna be one of those awkward people.Where does my post say about new builds ...... it doesn’t
Stud walls appear in old buildings too ...
Tried that once on a hot summers day and had to use cream for a week after itYour not going to go commando 123

No idea why anyone would use pvc capping on a stud wall mind, each to their own I guess.
Ok, I'm intrigued as to how you do each differently then.Not being awkward ..... refurbish and rewire come in all shapes and sizes, plus very different build types ......
Several HDMI cables and they wanted it so if they added or removed equipment they could do so with ease. 25mm conduit a bit too tight for that32mm waste pipe...now there's a thing...and a lot of raggling, surely?
Why such a big pipe?
Group 4.If doing a domestic rewire, refurb or additions - what do you normally use to protect the cable?
got up for a pee. then coffee while dog's let out for pee also.Up early Tel, or have you not gone to bed yet
Read my post again ....
Your lots invoices must be three foot long. Why don't you just clip it to the wall and then let the plasterer dot and dab straight over the top, or just chase em in and then let him plaster over it? Must take you 2 months to do a rewire with all that arsing about.
I have more recently used 32mm waste pipe recessed into the wall for a wall mounted TV install with the TV equipment on a unit below.

Yep. Would look a little daft if ran surface.Chased in??!!
What are the advantages to the installer of using conduit over capping? Surely chases have to be deeper and isn't it a faff feeding t&e down it?
If fresh block work is being hardwalled and skimmed do you have to chase oval conduit in a bit?
Always just used plastic capping because that's what those I have worked with use.
Conduit makes the job more professional & also, it’s easier to re-route cables when the architect suddenly decides it’s Monday morning and he’s going to change the drawings for the 100th time.
Not sure I agree that conduit is "more professional" though.
