We are soon to embark on a garage conversion.
Currently, the alarm panel is in the garage and there are 3 cables running from it at high level (but below ceiling level) tacked to the wall. As far as I can tell one is for an internal sounder, 1 for the front door sensor and 1 for the keypad.
Should I aim to move these cables into the ceiling void when I carry out the works (existing ceiling will be coming down) or can I dry line my wall with the cables in the small cavity behind?
If I try to move them, I will need to disconnect one end of them (or possibly replace with a longer length) Will I be ok to do this with my normal code or will I need an engineer code?
