Is it acceptable to run the tails vertically through the cavity into
the ceiling void, horizontally for approximately 2 meters and then
out of the ceiling void into the consumer unit?


You might get away with it, but for that sort of run you might be
better using a switched fused isolator to provide a little more
protection (you`ll have to sort that out, RECs normally only supply a
straight on/off switch).


Thanks for the advice Colin. Looks like a seperate isolator will be
needed. At least I know it is possible so can submit the application
to the 'leccy company.
