Discuss Drilling through domestic joist in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Hello,
I need to run a mains spur off the existing ring main in a domestic property. To get the double socket to the correct place I have to drill through several joists. I understand that there are building regs on this. Can some provide a link to the regs or info that clarifies what I need to consider before drilling a whole for 2.5mm twin & earth.
Cheers
