I suspect the answer is no, but I'll give it a try.
I'm redoing my flat, constructed circa. 1972, ceiling is concrete sitting on pylons, I'm on the lower ground floor of five floors.
The bugger is that I want to put a pendant light in the dining room, and put a bulkhead (with downlights + back led lighting) in the kitchen, but since the ceiling is concrete (and I have no false ceiling, nor desire to put one in - already ripped some out!), the only options would be to run the cables (in each case, ~1-2m distance from the wall, and cable is 1mm csa) in clipped on conduit (looking yuck) or shallow chase the ceiling. Prefer the latter. However, (a) is it actually structually safe to chase lightly for this short distance, and if so, then (b) how to do you do it practically (given the concrete is tough, and without mortal danger (I don't, nor probably does any one else, fancy standing on a platform holding a diamond cutter upwards!).
