Wall Cavity Wiring.

Zoomup
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?

    Hello Psy, after providing an estimate for installing some new sockets in a 70s bungalow I considered if it was possible to run cables down to the new socket positions from the loft in the wall cavities. This would save a lot of time, dust, noise and disruption. So I enquired about the possibility here to get responses and opinions. I could use PVC/PVC cable or M.I.C.C. if necessary, or any other suitable cable.
