Wall Cavity Wiring.

Good morning on this bright and sunny start,


                          Q. Which regulation(s) specifically prohibit(s) the installation of cables in brick and block cavity walls within the cavity?


in a, Older premises?


    b, Newer premises?


If regulations exist, what reasons are provided for the prohibition? Or are we just concerned about chemical damage of cable insulation if the cables are in contact with some types thermal insulation?

  • So you're lying on a bit of board spread across the top of the ceiling joists having pulled the fibreglass insulation back trying to drop a fishing line down the cavity over the top of the wall plate when you discover the brickies sealed the top of the cavity,  just like they are supposed to.
