Hi, Can anyone help me locate a lighting cable? It's an end-of-terrace house, built in 1900. It was rewired in the 1980s. I'm trying to find the wire that connects the ground floor lighting circuit to the first floor lighting circuit. Can anyone suggest where it is likely to be?
Here is a plan of the first floor (the floor where the up-wire must be located, somewhere in one of the walls):
If it proves hard to locate, would an electronic cable-locator (cheap, hand-held type) be of any use for locating it? Is the wire likely to be in a chasing/conduit going downwards from one of the 1st floor light switches? The dual-gang switch on the landing may possibly have such a chasing for the wires that link that switch to the corresponding switch in the hall below.
Thank you very much for any help....
Frank
