Hi All,
We have to rewire a Kitchen - sockets and FCU's in new locations, solid concrete flooring in Kitchen, room above tiled floor new plastered ceiling in Kitchen.
My questions are : -
1) Is it permissible in regs to chase down from existing sockets chase across the wall at low floor level, cables in oval conduit and up to the new socket location?
2) What are the regs concerning the wires in the existing sockets? can I join into ring in existing back box with push fit or crimps and bury the cables in the wall?
3) What is the best thing to use to cover the front of the existing back boxes to protect cables & joiners from the plaster?
4) Most new socket locations under windows so lintles above etc.
Thanks for your help.
