Hi all, This is my first post.
I want to wire a wall socket into an area that has a newly vaulted ceiling that has been created within an existing extension. The nearest ring main supply is exiting through the corner of the vault bulkhead and so is above normal ceiling height. I am planning on extending the ring main down to a wall socket with spur running off of it. The wall socket will be located diagonally below where the ring main exits the bulkhead. What are the rules regard cable routing? I am considering running the cables from the wall socket up to normal ceiling height then either hoizontally (or vertically?) across the wall to where the ring main exits the bulkhead. All cables in conduit of course.
Any advise please on whether this route would acceptable?
Note. The location is a kitchen, and the work will be inspected to ensure it meets part P.

No. Unless you mean earthed steel conduit.

When you applied for Building Regulations approval, what did you say would be the way that you would ensure compliance with Part P, and what did the council say they would do and/or you must do about inspection, testing and certification?

A great set of diagrams and links. Thanks!

... or buired more than 50mm below surface level; if I understand the links correctly?

I told the council that someone who is not part P registed would be doing the work.
The council said someone from a subcontractor company would come out to inspect and certify the work. So far I have had no contact with the company. The council said the company should be calling me soon to make arrangements.

Cheers
