Dear group,
The only formal training my limited attention span permitted was in electronics and not electrical installation. I also work as a technician on a site with all cables accessible and understand the difficulty of predicting future needs.
This explains my instinct to wire my house in an unconventional way avoiding cutting joists and running cables under the floor or buried in plaster.
My plan is to use vertical and horizontal cable ducts around the stairwell at the centre of my house in addition to the already useful duct formed by the gap between the first and second first upper floor joists which runs the whole length of the house and which will also carry gas and water pipes.
In the absence of or high price of trunking that is easy on the eye, and given that PVC trunking is permitted, I wonder if there would be any objection to my using bespoke MDF service ducts.
I have done a fair bit of Googling on the subject but to no avail.
thanks ...
Jeremy
