Lectrician - thanks very much for your time and effort replying. I owe you a drink! :D

Lectrician - thanks for your speedy reply! I do have broadband. Just to be clear, I connect terminal 2 of my extensions to terminal 2 of the master. Terminal 5 of my externsions to terminal 5 of my master - and so on? I am using CW1308 so will connect as advised. Regarding the...

Gents, I've got one BT master socket at present, and want to add two new ones. I've bought the 4 core cable, IDC tool and two extension sockets (each with 6 numbered terminals at the rear of the face plate, numbered 1 to 6). The master BT socket is (I think) a NTE5 type. The bottom...

It'll always be in use - it'll be the power point for a pair of freezers.

Thanks all... very helpful. The Unistrut idea looks good. Handing a flex down from the ceiling certainly sounds nice and easy... I just think it's a bit rough! There isn't a basement. And no carpet - just lino on concrete so I can't hide anything.

I want to fit a power socket in the middle of a small shop. Concrete floor which I don't want to chop in to. Thought about using a rubber cable protector along the floor but don't really like the idea. My though is to run conduit along the celing to a point above, then drop down to the socket -...
