hey guys.

doing a job 2moro and only my 2nd one. its a small kitcken and above the hob below the hood there is a electrical cable that was fixed to an old fan at the top of the hood.
there is enough cable to track the wall and have it come out right be side the fan.

what am looking to know would it be ok to hold the cable with adhesive to prep the wall??

would like any other good tips for prep aswell!

i want to do a good job as its girlfriends moms!!!!! and you know what they are like!! lol

thanks guys.

If it's an old cable is it used ? if not, find the spur and disconnect it, that would be the best bet in my opinion.
Hope it helps.

can you carve a slot in the plaster and bury it / tile over it?

Do you have public liability insurance?
There are strict codes for any electrical work these days and even if you are doing a favour/girlfriends mam it can come back and bite your ***.
We all know what to do but should we be doing it! It may be a simple old cable but as its your 2nd job I'd get an electrician to move it/disconnect/bury etc.
John.

thanks for advice lads.
the cable will be in use. there is a new fan going in and it will be more tidy if the cable comes out beside it rather than the cable coming from a foot away.
electrician has said to me would be ok to track it to the fan.

would adhesive hold it in place????

I'd use some cable clips, if you use addy the wire can keep popping out

dig it in and cable trunking it

I agree with timless john. If it's an old cable and out of service then fine. If however it is a live cable you could be breaking all sorts of building regs by doing it yourself. If there is a problem later on e.g. an electrical fire (God forbid) then it could invalidate home insurance not to mention the potential legal stuff.

Just be bloomin careful.

That said and I hasten to add before the regs changed I did a similar thing with an old socket cable - could not cut it out, could not bury it so chiselled a groove in the render on the wall and clipped it into the groove with cable clips and then plastered over it - I guess Addy would have a similar effect but you would probably need to clip it to th wall.
