Hi. My first post and looking for a bit of advice. I am doing the installation 'donkey work' before I get an electrician in to put a new ring mains in and make the wiring connections. All the main cables for the house are sub-floor (for the ground floor). I am putting 6 double sockets into one room and fitting backboxes and conduit down through the floor, so it should be easy for the electrician to feed the cables up when it comes to finishing the job. My question is, does each socket (backbox) have to have a conduit cable route going down through the floor, or can sockets that are next to each other (two lots of double sockets will probably be a couple of inches or so apart horizontally) be connected by conduit horizontally above the floor level? Obviously the latter would save some channeling work, but does that method conform to the regs?
Your advice would be much appreciated.
