Dave Plumb Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hi YaI have found the best way for me to run some power and light cables across my bedroom from one side to the other is to fit a box skirting as I dont want to disturb the stone wall,..... Question- if the front of the box skirting is removable for inspection/replacement of said cables do I then not need to run them inside gain but leave them loose?

[8-)][/quote]If you are proposing to use individual wires, then yes, they must be in gaine. If you are going to to use "cable" (3-core rigid), then no, they don't need to be in gaine, provided the entire "box" cover is removable. They will need gaine where they pass through anything fixed, like a wall or studwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
