I need some wired 'trunked'

I need it done professionally, I bought soem myself but it is too much of a
hassle cutting it etc and it needs to go aroudn some complex cornering.

What kind of a person does it professionally and woudl they bother coming
out to houses fo a 'small' job?

Aside from trubking and cable clips are there any other alternatives to
gettign wires aorudn the walls? (under floor is not an option)

Cheers

corners and stuff make it really annoying.

Any sparky will be familiar with installing trunking, they might see it
as a trivial job and be reluctant to take it on, but then again it's not
really so difficult to DIY, so long as access is OK and you're mobile
enough.

its not really that dificult to instal yourself, we use this stuff when
required at work, http://tinyurl.com/5u78tb, from RS components, i know its
pricey but i dont pay for it.

Theres plenty of pre-made angles for any awkward parts you might have

If you have fitted carpets (and this is low voltage cable) just drop
it between the gripper and the skirting board -- there's usually a
gap; move the gripper if not, or cut out slots of underlay.

Have a look at 'D' Line trunking here
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Ind...dex/index.html

Range of colours and internal/external corners & stuff, looks very neat & is
dead simple to install.

Its trunking Jim, but not as we know it.

Concur. Used a bit to route a network cable round my rented house, tacked on
with panel pins so landlord can remove it cleanly when we're gone (it
actually comes with self adhesive foam backing for quick permanant
installation).

To the OP:

It does look good, as good as surface trunking will ever look IMO. Not so
cheap mind, but B&Q + Homebase stock it so sourcing is easy.

It is *very* easy to get a neat job. Buy a bag of the little corner pieces
to suit the run (3 types: inner, outer and flat bend) and most of the cuts
needed will then be square. Junior hacksaw is fine, sharp knife will
probably work on the smaller stuff.

If you think £19 is expensive I assume you have not yet received any
quotes from networking companies?

I havent had any replies to my emails yet on the account of it being sunday
night


19 quid plus the 17 quid for the atcual trunking and that is before i have
even started putting it on etc - i imagien an electrician could do it all in
maybe an hour for maybe 50-60 quid? much more worthwhile

You need to diy this. It'll save you plenty, with which you can buy
something you fancy, it'll give you another skill and boost your
confidence. And its not hard.

Other ways to run wire... thread it thru a little hole in the floor
into the floor cavity and up the other side. Much neater, can be a git
getting it threaded though.

If you go this way, also thread a dummy cable. You can pull other cables
with it at a later date.
