Stupidly, I drilled through an FP cable, close to a Call Point. It’s plastered into the wall.
Now, Can I chase and reveal the cable, crimp the conductors, use heatshrink and plaster back in?

It would be a hell of a lot easier than any other method but I want to do it correctly.

Cheers in advance.
 
Nice of the OP to come back and thank you fellas, what a nice guy :(
 
Sincere thanks to all who helped. Very much appreciated. Apologies for the late reply, I was away and tend not to sit on a computer while I’m out enjoying myself.
To those petty little twerps that do. Have a little look at yourselves.

Again, your great advice is much appreciated.

And to those petty little twerps who come on here, ask a question and then don't bother to come back for 4 days, take a look at yourself.
