I never said anything about anyone not being legit.

There are many professionals who go to the SW office and declare when they get a days work or even a few hours work.

So lets not just presume and taint everyone with the 1 brush.

Regards.:)

Nobody is tainting anyone with any brush.

I took it as you where referring to lads on the dole do some work on the side
and if thats not what you where talking about then my mistake..

the rules don't put it that way

In my opinion they do.

'concealed' wires in solid walls,hollow walls and partitions

must have armour or conduit unless dropping to a 'point'

To me a point is a socket, switch etc.
According to your post above wires do not not require armor or conduit when feeding "a point".

I have wired inspected installations without using conduit or armor for vertical drops in partition walls.

What kind of conduit would you suggest?

I did a similar job recently. Im a 4th year apprentice and it was a nixer. 3 or 4 bedroom semi d, ran 10sq T&E from CU in plastic trunking up tight to the ceiling above the stairs and up into the attic where the landing is, to pull cord switch then from switch to shower. 40a rcbo in CU. Took me 3 hours including soup and sandwich and as I was only providing labour the cost was €80

I agree with his post.

No conduit required within a partition wall if a cables are feeding socket, accessory etc.

I did and saw this:

i would never fish a t+e at random through a stud wall or drylined wall myself

surface pvc trunking

I guess that I took a different meaning from it, apologies.
It seems we agree

Just wondering can someone give me a breakdown cost of wiring an electric shower. The shower will be mounted and plumbed by others. Price should include labour, 40amp rcbo, 20m of 10sq cable and pull cord.

Any thread I've found has been from the boom times so the prices are a bit steep for today's climate.

Forgot to mention doodoo, i didn't buy the materials but as far as i know they were approx €100
