Re: Self build - wiring for future
Watch the depth of chase ! especially if you are installing your self and then having your install part p tested. Regs state that you should not sink more than a third of the thickness of wall including finishes. Applicable to the sinking of backboxes for light switches. Just been installing my first fix and had it inspected some 47mm back boxes were frowned on where I had chased into 3" thermalite block.
These two publications are well worth refering to for guidance, whatever type of cable you are running.
