Hi,
Can anyone advise? I have what I think is the ringmain in a room, set into the brickwork behind the plaster. It runs at the same level as the sockets, and looks exactly right for a ringmain. It has been chased very badly such that at certain points it rises proud of the plaster (corners etc). However, it has a brass outer skin. This made me think gas pipe, but there is no gas pipe of that description going from the meter, and no gas in the room. My voltstick registers nothing, but the brass would shield it anyway, so that's no surprise. Any thoughts? Is this just a bely and braces solution to stop people accidentally chopping the cable?
Cheers,
Ben
