Burying 2.5mm ring circuit cable under concrete floor in flexi conduit

[Vortigern]

What is your view about such an installation technique? Asked to finish extension wiring and the installer has snaked wire all over the floor in white flexi. They intend to put an island in and this could easily lead to damaged cables. The other wiring for lights etc. is abysmal like a massive spaghetti nightmare. I have declined the job but just wondered what your thoughts were on burying cables in concrete floor, would you do it?

 

[Rockingit]

Not a preferred option but allowable and I've had to do it myself in the past (minus the spaghetti!)

Have done, in order to get cables to a kitchen island for example

yes if there is no other way ,i have done it ,with a tins like the great escape ,me tom dick and harry .lol. put in conduit .

No problem putting cables in the screed concrete floor , I always put rigid pvc conduit in clipped in place before the screed goes down

I used to always map the route of the cables/conduits in concrete on a drawing and put it in the CU taped to the door with the EICR, smoke alarm reports now as well, theres posh.

isnt all that paper a potential fire risk

No it's inside an Asbestos envelope.
