[QUOTE="ElectronGlow, post: 525266, member: 34866"] It looks like going through the partition wall is not feasible. There is a horizontal cross piece and there are both hot and cold water pipes connecting the shower within the wall that are not insulated. I have no access to be able to drill through the cross-piece without removing plasterboard. I also gather that the cable should not to come into direct contact with a hot pipe. Fortunately, existing electrics are located such that cables are routed well clear of the pipes. It looks like I will have to route the cable down through the airing cupboard and under the landing floor, but there are problems with this approach as well as I am not sure how I am going to be able to drill a hole to feed the cable up from under the floor into the partition wall.
