[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 684695, member: 75318"] Thanks Chaps, some good ideas there. Chris said: They don't I'm afraid. I completely rebuilt the house 15 years ago and hid all cables (phone, sound, TV aerial) below the plaster at 1st fix stage. Wish I'd put network cabling in now though! :mad: I'd never heard of EOP before Chris and Jay posted - I've done a bit of reading and it does seem an easy solution.
