Calling all electricians!
We're having an extension built and before this is done we're having to demolish an existing garage. Our electricity meter, consumer unit etc are all in the garage so will need to be moved.
We're going to get the electicity board to move the meter to the outside front wall of the house and the consumer unit will then go on the inside of that wall. We didn't want to have the cables and tails showing so wanted to have a channel made in the wall and then put them in the wall and then plastered over. But we had an electrician round who said that the tails etc could not be put in the wall but had to be put in trunking on the wall. We don't like the idea of plastic trunking running down the wall on show- is it really true that they can't be hidden in the wall?
