There are a few guidelines to be followed when chasing cables or pipes into walls.
Chasing out wall for electrical cable.
Electrical cables should not be found outside these zones although in many older and some newer properties they often are so if you are chasing out areas of a wall or chopping sections out this is someting to be aware of.
Chasing is a continuous recess within the floor ceiling and walls for the required pipe work and conduit.
For this diy project guide we show you the process of cutting chases in walls including brick and concrete walls using a chase cutter and then how to run your conduit and cables into the chase and then refill it ready for plastering.
