Hi all, anyone had any experience cutting chases in concrete walls in a domestic property ??
Nephews just bought his first 'fixer upper' house and unfortunately being family the rewires coming my way whether I want it or not........
The house is circa 1960s of concrete slab construction, ex council, re-wired in the early 80's by the council (lots of surface trunking, and accessories), theres still an old wood backed MK socket in the airing cupboard with VIR cables (thankfully disconnected) and the gas is bonded in 3 places.... the closest is 5m inside the house !
Now they obviously want everything replaced and flush mounted...... now I must of had a sheltered life as every house I've worked on has either been brick/skimmed or boarded/stud etc never had to chase concrete before !!
All I can think of is a diamond bladed wall chaser and dust extract and patience...... any advice most welcome..... apart 'from run a mile'
