Advice on chasing leads into solid wall for TV

[Murdochcat]

If you want ANY chance of replacing any of the concealed cables they need a straight run

I've never had a house that's had skirting, with plaster behind it right down to the floor.

Plaster all the way to the floor, John. I took a length of skirting off today to check.

I agree. Whilst I could well believe that leads do become faulty at times, I have never had a HDMI or coax cable become faulty. The redundancy here is that I am going to run 2 HDMI cables in the conduit when I only need one. But hey, it's a risk I have to take as I cannot do a straight run in this instance.

Looking good, socket cable in there already? Just mind and double check you don't have any socket cables going down across your planned route.
I'm quite impressed with the build quality, they've not cut corners on your walls anyway

Thanks. I only got the spur done today as I doubled checked, then triple checked everything, given this was my first attempt at chasing.

I have been over the planned route for the HDMIs & Coax a dozen times and I am confident the road is clear. So, I'll tackle that tomorrow and hopefully get the chases filled for the Easifill top coat on Sunday.
