Hi Guys,
Hopefully someone can clear this question up for me, I recently moved into a old house and I ve ripped out the old kitchen.The kitchen is to be fitted on an external wall.There are two sockets currently on the base of the kitchen wall.I am going to raise them up by about 4foot, also I am going to add another socket for the extractor fan of the cooker approx 6-7ft up the wall .Its fairly straight forward so far.I was thinking of putting foam backed plasterboard on the external wall(27mm kingspan) for insulation against the external wall.My question is, is it safe to run the cables for the sockets behind the foam plasterboard?I was thinking I would use channel conduit to fix the cables to the external wall then cut out the channels out of the foam plasterboard and then fix the foam plasterboard.Again is this safe .is there any hassle doing it this way?
cable for sockets used is 2.5mm cable.Just to add the cooker cable 6mm is also there.Any help much appreciated
