Hello all,
Hoping for some insight onto why this particular cable run might be as it is in our house. It's a 2005 build and pretty poor quality mostly.
I'm removing some plasterboard and when I knocked an inspection hole through I found a live twin and earth behind, tacked onto the blockwork running vertically, it disappears into the ceiling and under the floor. Pic below.
There is nothing electrical either on the vertical or horizontal planes of that wall. The nearest electrical fittings would be 3 spotlights and an extractor fan, a ways away. The fused switches and shaver socket are in the opposite corner.
None of this has been disturbed since the house was built, so I know it was installed by the original builders.
Is it compliant with building regs in this form? I think it will serve the spots and extractor, but the routing seems bizarre considering where the switch is.
Has anyone seent his before and should I perhaps look out for anything else as a result, perhaps?
Many thanks.
