I was looking for a way to run a phone wire and maybe some other cables round a number of rooms and thought about placing the cables behind the skirting. The made-for-purpose trunking I found looks more industrial than domestic so I came up with the idea of routing out channels behind timber skirting. I have to replace the skirting anyway.
Best option I can think of is to buy some 120mm x 18mm HDF bull nose trunking or similar and to use a router to make channels in the back of the skirting for the cables. That seems a good value option but I an not sure if it would be too much work for a router.
Does that sound like a good idea or bad idea? Is there a better way to run such cables tidily?
Anyone else tried this or have an interest in doing something similar?
