But heads-up, it all changes in the 17th - AIUI all concealed cables need RCD protection, but I've only got the draft 17th, not the real thing. There are a couple of recent articles in Wiring Matters about them.

In my house I've given up trying to get the cables up via the understairs cupboard into the landing void, and for the next round of alterations I'm going to install some 75x100 (ish) glavanised trunking (earthed) on the end edge of a stud wall, and then box it in and paper/paint over it so it won't show.
