Hello All
I'm in the process of opening up the ring main to add in some additional sockets in the downstairs lounge and then the upstairs bedroom and would very much appreciate some advice on running the cables.
Both the upstairs and downstairs have tongue and groove floor boards and the only way to get access is by cutting off the tongue and then gently lifting the board. This is fine for access but my question is how do you then clip all of the cable to make sure it's supported? I was wondering how this is done in practice, do you lift every other board to clip the cable (which will damage the boards, which would be a shame) or are the cables left unsupported (which appears to be the case with the original cables as it's evidently had a rewire at some point.
Any advice much appreciated and please go easy as it's my first post
