Hi All,
We are considering getting an electric shower fitting to the main bathroom of the house. This will obviously need wiring and I'm not 100% sure how they'll wire it to the distribution board.
Bathroom is on the 1st floor at the back of the house and the distribution board is in the WC on the ground floor next to the front door.
Shortest way would be up from the DB into the space between ground floor ceiling and first floor and back to the bathroom and coming up, but we've laminate flooring then carpet then tiling over 22mm-ish chipboard panelled type floor. Another way would be up into the loft and across to the front of the house and feed the cable behind the dot and dab plasterboard and down.... but I'm not sure if that's possible / allowed.
How would you tackle this?? I basically want to know if it's an easy enough job to do or will they need to rip up flooring / cut channels in ceilings in which case we might give it a miss.
Thanks in advance.
Pete
