[QUOTE="binky, post: 548115, member: 490"] trades should know about safe zones for cable runs, home owners, well.... Makes no difference to neatness as it is all hidden behind the plaster work, and the majority of people havn't got a clue where cables run anyway. Personally I tend to avoid going horizontally across walls for sockets, people tend not to bang nails in below sockets, so it is a little safer run up and down from floor level. However, if it's a stud wall, then horizontal is fine. [/QUOTE]
