I have to think about re-routing the cable from the CU to the loft for the upstairs lighting circuit as currently the cable comes down through the one place I wish to put a door downstairs.
rather than chisel away up through the two floors to relay the cable, my preferred (easiest) route would be to use conduit to go diagnally up the stairs (under stairs) through a wall into the ceiling space in the corner of the kitchen and follow the central heating pipes up in to the airing cupboard then up into the roof.
Questions:
1. is it permissable to run conduit for this purpose along side heating pipework?
2. Should I use plastic or metal pipe for the conduit
