I am putting in a mains spur to my front room.
The mains cable shortest route would be to exit the wall behind the socket, there in the passage way it would run up one wall across the top of the doorway and down the other wall into the CU.
Is this a permitted route?
Does the cable need to be buried in the wall or can I use plastic trunking?
I would rather do the lying of the cable and putting the socket in myself as this is all basic work ,and get an electrition to connect to the CU .
