I am going to be getting my house rewired as part of a larger refurbishment project. The rewire itself will be carried out by certified electrician but i am currently undertaking some minor builders works myself in preparation. Most of the existing sockets and switches will be removed and relocated in the new design. The floors will be up at the time of rewire.
To give the spark as straightforward job as possible and so that they are used for electrical work rather than prep work, i plan to install the back boxes and do the chasing myself (removing the existing as i go) then get the plasterer in prior to the spark doing their thing.
My thinking is that if all back boxes have conduit runs connected to them running to the floor/ceiling void all cabling should be able to be pulled with relative ease. Is this a reasonable assumption to make or will the spark want to kill me when they see it?
Assuming it is a reasonable way to do it what is the best conduit system to use? Should it be rigid or flexible? Plastic or metal?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
