To save my electrician time (and me money) I'm trying to get all the cable routes prepared for my kitchen rewire. Unfortunately I can't get in touch with my electrician until next week and I'd like to get on with the job.
I've got a wall where there will be two double sockets and two 20A DP switches all in horizontal alignment. The 20A DP switches will be connected to single unswitched sockets under the work surface.
Is it acceptable to route the cable down the wall to the first accessory, then horizontally via the remaining accessories, and finally back up the wall from the final accessory (with additional vertical routes from the DP switches down to the unswitched sockets)?
I'm asking the question because when people refer to safe zones for cables they always seem to state that you can route cables horizontally OR vertically from an accessory. Is it acceptable to route cables both horizontally AND vertically from a single accessory?
Thanks for your time.
