Discuss Plastering directly over T&E in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I always backfill any chases I make myself so the plasterers trowel myth doesn't come in to it.
I'm not sure how they'd get a trowel in to a good neat chase anyway, unless they stabbed at it.
 
Future proofing for future changes is all well and good,but if taken to its extreme,its nice to go into a council flat and pull singles through the full conduit system,but that is not a goods enough reason for me to want to do it on my own installs

Must say,I use capping and oval simply because its easy and looks neat,also I hear so much about protection from the plasterers trowel
In all honesty I have never come across damage by that means
He would have to be one hell of a useless spread to slice his way through a cable

yes,

only time seen muppetry was ... well he was hammering the cable to try to make it flatter.

Didn't pass many tests (the cable)
