Default Running electric cable in concrete floor

I am approaching the end of refurbishing my daughters house. Given the
choice I would have sorted the kitchen first, however it is my daughters
house and she wanted the kitchen left to last.
Now I am approaching the time to run the elect-trickery into the kitchen.
The distribution box is in the hall way which has a hatch into the hollow
floor which extends up to the kitchen where it is concrete. I thought that
I would run the cables up to this then cut channels into the concrete and
run the cabling in trunking bedded in this, the concrete will be
eventually tiled over. Is this feasible and any tips please


Years ago could get prewired flat section PVC trunking for just this
purpose. IIRC the cable was single insulated and loosely in its own section
of the trunking. It was used for wiring in blocks of flats
Never used it myself so not sure how the sections fitted together

Don't know if it is still available
