Hi,

We are getting additional powerpoints installed in our old 1960s ground floor apartment. Floor and ceilings are concrete and all walls are rendered brick (no cavity).

Our electricain is a friend of a friend and as a way of keeping costs down he has agreed to let me do the chasing for cables to new powerpoints. He will then come back and wire it up. I suggested chasing the slab as it provided a more direct route and we are installing a new floor so would be easier to cover up as opposed to patching up walls (hard to get a good finish).

Should I be nervous about chasing the slab? Is there any reason why this shouldn't be done?

Advice woud be greatly appreciated!
