Hi everyone, hoping you can help me with my extension.
We have had a 2 storey extension built and its time to fit the electrics.
A good friend who is fully qualified is doing the work and he has allowed me to run the T&E in for the lighting and sockets, he even promised not to rip it all down and start again if I did a good job
The walls are blockwork and will have a plastered finish using dot & dab.
My father-in-law who built the extension has told me to use Conduit (even though the t&e will be chased in)on the 2.5mm t&e as it makes a nice neat job.
I was going to use this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/tower-oval-conduit-16mm-x-2m-white/91802
My question really is, can I run 2 lengths of 2.5mm t&e in one piece of 16mm wide conduit or does it have to be single.
Also for the wall sockets I was just going to finish the conduit a few inches from the back box and a few inches from the ceiling, is that ok? or is their regs on where the conduit finishes if used.
Seems an awful lots of words for 2 questions, so im sorry for rambling and thank you for any help you guys can give.
Cheers, Bob
