Default Running cables through stud walls

Aah, thanks for the Naming Of Parts: "sole plate" being the horizontal
timber at the bottom which the studs rest on, and "header" being the bit
wot the tops of the studs attach to, right? Nogginses is indeed a strong
possibility - mentioned in a couple of the posts - but not a certainty,
in my very limited but non-zero experience.


Depending on your adherence to regulations, you can find where the
noggins are, make a hole above and below, and chip away the plasterboard
in between, and lay vcables over the top, and kmake good with plaster
and skim.

Or if you are a purist, notch the noggin.


One thing about plasterboard, its dead easy to fit bits onto holes, skim
and sand flat and repaint. Compared with chasing a slot down an internal
brick wall...its easy peasy.
