Hi,
I want to extend a radial circuit in a conservatory to provide power for an extra socket plus three wall lamps (conservatory has solid flooring).
The area on the wall behind the skirting is not a permitted cable route (for cable depths less than 50mm) although I see that you can buy domestic plastic skirting with channeling for cables such as that manufactured by Rehau or Marshall-Tufflex.
Since cables cannot be buried in walls behind skirting if concealed at a depth of less than 50mm, but seem to be acceptable if 'buried' inside plastic skirting boards, will it comply if I use a router to create similar channels in wooden skirting to route cables around the room perimeter?
Thanks
