repair or replace

[Phil]

lighting cable drilled through in an existing domestic property. able to repair but its no where near any safe zone, completely routed where it should not be. would you repair it or re-route a new cable? im guessing the rest in the house are all roughly the same as regards to the rest of the cables that are routed being outside the safe zones 20+ years old installation

Bit like the Wago debate IMO - always best to do things properly if you can.

im with Novus rewire to safe zones if possable

thanks guys. thats actually what i did do. although a few have said they would just have repaired it. not something i would have been happy to do myself. i would rather walk away knowing my cables in the right place even if the rest of them are not.

As with any job I always try my best to do it properly. In some cases it is just not possible to replace so a repair would have to be done.. But as a last resort for me.

I would re route so its right. But would leave the final decision with the customer as rerouting may cost them more.
