my worry or concern is where do put in a junction box for connection the the t&e cables ideally I would have preferred the grey stuff. there is little room for maneuver at the back of the box with the wires in a 35mm box

The other photos are for the work that I had done which i had just capped the singles and one coat plastered them

That's some of the bedroom chase that i done and as you can see from the last image their is some sort of loop from one Conduit to the other meaning that I could not remove the back box

A bit rough but is it a hazard

The initial chase the one that I plastered over was 20mm in some parts but on the corners less just below the plaster The chase i made was for the whole living room was just about 5 meter hence why am shy to go at it again

So I could do the connection in the back box and not have to use a junction box ?

Yeah been looking for a 90 degree bend for the oval and its near impossible plus the couplers

I will, after I've chiseld out the new plaster.

So so to join the singles to t&e that would then mean making a connection in a junction box which i thought cant be buried

To use round conduit means that i have to chase a little bit more on the single brick wall. is oval not good enough?

Thanks ~~that's the offending pic your correct Taylor The cables were fed from below and sockets are horizontally across and just above the skirting Aargh, the only reason I chased was because the trucking that was used had started to peal away and sag did not look good around the room in...

I Have chased and plastered "singles" cable for my living room sockets when I did i just put capping on to them but I've been told that capping is not enough protection and that oval conduit is the preferred option?? In addition while chasing and capping one of the singles was not long enough...

Thanks This is what am up against, the cables cross a conduit that was previously buried feeding to the light switch below I intend to use cables ties to clip the cables individually on the conduit then plaster over them with a thin layer and then use some gypsum Coving to finish it off Is this...

My other concern to this is I did use gripfill while I was of the mind to cap the cables The grip fill went all over the cables and subsequently dried Am concerned about the adhesive leeching into the pvc cables over time after I've plaster over them Should I be worried

Well I was very concerned as the morta is packed in tight without any room for the cables so I thought if I add plaster onto them it will not allow room for contractions of the cables Right so onwards with mucking them in places after I clip them Just need to replace the nails in the clips...

The cables were already set to feed into the kitchen which was done up but the ones am chasing were in the sitting room in trunking The wall is one brick and the cables are two 10mm and some smaller ones I think 4mm As I said cappjng would make it difficult over a conduit feeding into sockets...

Hi I Chased a wall top of the ceiling and on the corner While chasing I found out that hole drilled to pass the cables the brick around it was crumbling and loose I then proceded to fill the area around the cables with morta to stabilise the bricks But now am thinking this is not the best...
