Approaching the end....sigh! I have a similar problem to the CU tails issue discussed elsewhere. Sparkly has brought the tails though the outside wall, below worktop height and then surface mount to the consumer unit on a wall at 90deg. I had planned to hide these with plywood boxing but now wonder about metal duct? Also, what are the issues regarding exposed tails below the worktop? Data cables. Sparks has laid in daisy chained CAT6 to all the places I said we might want wi-fi or a direct connection. Mindful of the advice to quadruple the number of cables you first thought might be adequate, is this good enough? Practically, I can parallel up feeds after the first run which is buried in plaster. This will get harder as I am just insulating and closing off easy access to the eaves/soffit areas which provide a convenient route between the rafters to the lofts. Currently we do not use streaming for any TV watching. Land line connection is 10 or so Meg. at best with fibre not even on the horizon. Wi-fi from the router and a couple of Devolo mains links do for the i-phone visitors. The new house has chicken wire in the ground floor ceilings so local links might be good. Any thoughts? I plan to bribe Tim

very high tech. The only exchange bits I picked up were 1930s or before.
