Hi, I'm trying to improve a fairly dangerous mains install (insufficient sockets run from the ring upstairs!) but have a problem with part of a room that has a concrete floor, making running a ring main underneath challenging... It's oddly shaped, too, so chasing a horizontal course or installing trunking would be very difficult and involve chasing behind some plumbing. The expedient solution would be to put the cables behind the skirting, which is deprecated (I read the archived threads on the topic), however I see there's a provision in the wiring regs for horizontal runs from a visible fitting. Would installing visible fittings on the skirtings where the cables are routed be a dangerous bodge (following the letter but not spirit of regs) or an elegant solution- a good way of warning some future installer that there's a potential problem?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Cheers, W.
