My customers meter is being moved. The distance to the consumer unit will be approx 10m. I'll be installing a metal switched fuse in the meter. I cannot run any cables up the outside as it is having some kind of wooden finish and the customer does not want anything else on show.
I can only see 2 other choices. Run it up the cavity of the brick wall, or bring it through into the house and run it up a chase in the inner wall. I have never routed cables in the cavity before but would this be ok if it was a) SWA b) tails in steel conduit?
Also, the same question applies to bringing the cable(s) into the house and up a chase in the inner wall (it may be dot and dab). Would it be ok if the tails were in steel conduit?
I realise both options meet the regulations (522.6.204) (i.e. SWA or tails in steel conduit), but I have always brought it up the outside of the house before and just wanted get some opinions.
