Hi, I'm not being funny.. but i really think you should let someone who knows what there doing do it... too save money you could buy the accessories and clear your whole house out so access is very easy... with re-wires i've done there is nothing more annoying than wasteing time moving...

1) No need for conduit unless using single core cables because it only has one layer of insulation. 2) 40mm should be ok as long as nothing else is going through. 3) Use proper electrical accessories.. high impact pvc conduit?; someone may cut through the waste pipe in the future if they...
