Metal plate to protect earth bonding cable

[f0rmula]

Back to the bonding route -

Is there removable floor covering?

Nope. It's some kind of extremely hard plastic bonded to the concrete floor. It's all being replaced though, next year sometime.

Could a very small channel be made in the concrete?

Potentially, yes, but I'd have to cut through the current flooring. How deep would it have to be? I worry that kitchen units will eventually be attached to the floor above it and the floor may get drilled into.

When all's said and done though, that wall will mostly be covered with units, apart from about three feet near the cellar door, so I'm starting to think I should just put it on the surface in trunking. :-/ Seems a lot easier.

I suspect that you would not regard it as aesethetically acceptable, but you could just clip the cable ('exposed') to the top of the skirting, and then paint it - not totally beautiful, but no worse than the BT man would do with a telephone cable!

Kind Regards, John

Ha. See above. I really didn't want to do that, but it's beginning to become quite an attractive option.

No depth.

Not if it remains indicated or even visible.

Well, yes, if nearly all of it will be covered by units there's no need for trunking.

I'm on a mission to remove all surface clipped phone cables in my house.

I'm on a mission to remove all surface clipped phone cables in my house.

I was once like that, but have largely grown out of it. It's like living with a railway line at the end of one's garden (which I once did, many moons ago) - after a few weeks, you don't even notice that they're there!

Kind Regards, John

Wireless phones, for the most part, will allow removal of BT cables. Have Googled wireless trains but cannot find anything.
