Hi all,
I went to survey a house for general disrepair (I work as a housing officer) and found that the house had been fully rewired using surface mounted trunking.
The trunking has been secured to the wall and floor surfaces using the double sided sticky that has already been fixed to the back. Approximately 20% of the trunking has begun to sag and come away from the wall and ceiling surfaces. This will only get worse.
Can someone enlighten me on that the regulations say regarding the use of trunking and how it should be fitted. More importantly is the sticky back on its own acceptable?
Also must the length of the trunking be continuous between surfaces and fixtures.
TIA
