[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 457039, member: 1408"] Cables in door cases used to be the norm on rewires in the past ( Often find a ring main behind the architrave to save on plastering ) but when the Welsh Badger has paid £5000 (Reasonable) for all new wiring to latest regs ...in my opinion the sparks should have stuck to the "Safe Zones" and behind door casings is'nt one of them . Its a "Quick fix" I'm afraid ...it used to occur a lot until around the 15th /16th editions when it went the same way as the dreaded " [I]Borrowed neutral " [/I] You can probably live with it Mr Badger , withold the 5% as he clearly doesn't want to alter it , but whatever he says ...its NOT in a "Safe Zone" . We all know where the safe zones are , as should he . If he's a registered Domestic Installer his assessor wouldn't be too impressed if he spotted that to be honest. That is the point of the whole scheme . [/QUOTE]
