Gordon are u on the sparky forum ? I sent a friend request to a Worcester renewables . Same avatar and wasn't till later I thought it might be someone else lol.
If memory servers: sparks must drill through joist at least 50mm from top of joist. Can you not drill, let's say, 45mm from top of joist and if sparks says the same again, tell him, "Sorry my friend, but your regs clearly stipulate 50mm from top of joist for cable run."
Just a thought.
If I'm right that is.
Ok, I'm sparky and I always prefer to work after the plumber has done his bit! This works OK until the plumber doesn't turn up and I have to run my cables. lol
Its funny, you will see this exact same conversation on an electricians forum but with the roles reversed.

Almost correct.... 50mm from finished surface if that circuit (cable) is not protected by an RCD. If the spark is drilling or stealing your holes, it will be a new circuit and has to be on an RCD anyway so it does not apply ( <--- that is a rule of thumb, there are ways around the regs on this one).
Alright Murdoch!!! Hope your playing nicely :wink:.....
Yep and it is always the electricians with their head up their own backsides that post about it lol. In the real world we have Blue ****, Grey **** and electrical ****. All depends on the person imho.
I'll have a look and send you a link via PM.
True "Tradesmen" work together. Great when both sparks and plumbers are on site at the same time from the start of the project, regardless if it is a house or a school/factory/shopping center etc.
Shake hands with a smile.
Put the kettle on and get one of the lads make a brew.
Get the plans out + have a walk around. Sort out the pipe run first, cables are a lot easier to install. It is amazing how well plumbers and sparks can get on with each other if a little bit of respect for each others trade is shown. Communication is key and a bit of banter is always needed lol. A decorator earlier this year almost fainted when I offered to make him a cup of coffee at break time. In 20 years he had never been offered this from a sparky? That's because he had never met me before.... It's all about having the correct working attitude imho.
The developer of that site saw how well all the trades got on with each other and the end result we all achieved, on time and on budget (almost). Because of our working attitude we are all on another 3 projects and we will all be busy for the next 12-15 months!!! A really good team of blokes that work well together, all of us going out for a xmas P up! 20 lads from 5 different trades all going for a night out, what could possibly go wrong????
Have we met before??
