I think I have read enough posts to have this one worked out, please
can somebody confirm. There is a desprate shortage of local sparkies
round my way, the nerrerst is an hours drive away - my first plan, of
employing one as a consultant is not working too well. My father in
law was qualifed till he retired, a few weeks before Part - P arrived,
so he will help out, I just have to make sure I do the new bit
correct. This mainly seems to be restrictions on where I can run the
cables - and new colours.

For where to run my wires,

They can be 50mm below the surface, in which case I can put them where
I like. Each room (except one, see below) will have at least one studd
wall, 100mm thick. This means I will need to put them in the
insulation layers, do I have to do anything special for this ?

In the other walls I can run the cables vertically from a "device", or
horrizontally between 2 devices in the plasterwork, which some plastic
protection - is this correct ?

I intend to do each room, with a seperate run to/from the fuse box,
and two rings in the kitchen, one normal, one economey 7.

If this is OK, then my plans are fine, as I intend to finish a room in
turn, rather than first fix the whole house, then 2nd fix the whole
house. This is mainly because I am living in the house, and if I do a
room in turn I can keep living in it.

For my main room, I will have no studd walls, and no clear 100mm space
at the top, as that space if full of ceiling beams, and its too little
anyway. The plan is to put a wooden "trench" into the floor
insulation, and put the wires in this. I would then seal the top with
steel plate, which would be earth bonded. Is this OK ? I'd run the
"trench" round all the walls, and run the cables up to the devices.

Final problem, where can I put junction boxes ?

Can they go into the studd walls ?

I can live without them in the floor.

Thanks
Rick
