Using a cavity wall gap for cables

[westward10]

Or if the trays long enough I can just rest it on the bottom.

See, simples.

I knew we'd figure it out in the end. All's good

Used to be done as a norm many moons ago, but rules change, Regs change.

Reg number..??

Go for it, it's very common for street lights up to 12 metres high to have T&E running down through unsupported apart from the cable clamp in the lantern and these sway quite a bit in high winds.

I tried to run a coax cable up an internal wall a few weeks ago and for love nor money couldn't get the rods up (phnar phnar!) drilled four large holes and just kept hitting ---- in the cavity, broke two sets of rods and in the end ran it along a wall. Had this in two occasions now, the moral of the story is just because there is a cavity there doesn't mean you will be able to use it. I reckon my brickies were rubbish and there were loads of snots in the wall.

Luckily I can see the whole of my route from top to bottom. Luckily these brickies seem to have been a little better.

Sure it is the bottom you are seeing. I have pulled cables up my wall cavities but used the water bond from the CU to pull a draw tape through.

Yes I can see the current CCU cables come into tge cavity and some go down to under floor and some come up to 1st floor and loft.
There are a few spider webs in there and sadly a few cacooned flys.

Assuming they aren't knotted you could use one to pull a draw wire in then pull it back down with the new ones.
