The Worlds Best Cable Runs 

Nick if I ever need a rewire I’m calling you that’s the most impressive cable runs I’ve seen neat tidy and you hoover up after as well perfect you should be proud of yourself

CO - Carbon monoxide (deadly) CO² - Carbon Dioxide (in normal air) Just fyi. Love the videos 👍

Nick ask the customer if they plan to have ceiling Atmos ceiling speakers, it’s well worth the effort and could run from amp position and you could leave them coiled under the floor ready

Proper job ! No bird nests left under the floor boards as you see by cowboys haha 👌🏻👍🏻

First off love the use of oval conduit in the wall, makes replacing cables much easier. However here are some really neat tips to take it to the next level. Get yourself a heat gun, use it to soften the oval conduit and make it round so can run all the way into the box. The next tip is to then soften the conduit in the box and splay it out so you don't even need a grommet. I admit to fashioning some blocks of wood to make this easier but a 25mm stripping knife will do the job just a bit more fiddly. Another tip I have is I find the ends of the oval conduit is prone to cracking and splitting. To counter this I fashioned some blocks of wood to be a nice tight fit in the conduit and then use some glue lined heatshrink tubing to reinforce the end (the wood is to stop the oval conduit from becoming misshapen while heating the heatshrink. The final tip is that you can use 6mm twin and earth on the 25mm oval conduit as a sort of pipe bender so you can bend it around corners after softening without it collapsing. In the same way 2.5mm twin and earth works on the 16mm oval conduit.

Great attention to detail Nick. Very tidy job. Nice one

Great work Nick , enjoy watching & learning, ⚡️👊

Mr Bundy. Cracking job. Nuf said.

All very neat. I tend to clip/run cables to the underside of the roof. Running cables through insulation derates the cable. I also use 25mm/20mm conduit with glands into metal back boxes.

We always do the loft work last hour of the day then home for a shower

Nice neat work, Nick, keep it up, I love it!

Lovely looking job nick , you certainly go the extra mile.

Clean looking cable runs 🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳

That’s a rewire and a half Nick so many Data cables…….good work on the plastering/bonding we used to do that as well back in the 80’s

29 cat called through a 35mm twin box seems tight. Curious to see the finish product. Great work 👍🏽

Top job mate those cable runs are amazing well thought out. Just shows that the extra time in planning pays off I might have to get a Milwaukee stapler

Lovely neat job Nick... We're using 3 core FP200 for smokes now, as we acquired a 500m drum :D Fun to terminate, we are now using round ceiling boxes for them

Nice work Nick.. very tidy and well considered for the future 🙂

The mention of 23 degrees opened my eyes to what the uk feels is hot my house with ac is set to 72 F so a lil below 23 degrees C. We are normally in the 90-100 degree F here in the summer. So almost 38 degrees C.

Always vacuum under floor boards, nice to see someone else doing it.

I did this once years ago, put loads of cable runs in, speaker, data, hdmi. When the room was furnished I decided I wanted the TV somewhere else, never used any of it 😂

Bloody nice neat quality work there !

Nice and neat Nick, you good job !

Great job as usual... Instead of using bonding, try the white one coat plaster, you will love it and will never go back..

Second fix on that is gonna be a dream, well done Nick 👍🏻👍🏻

Unreal job mate fair play👍🏻

Brilliant job nice cable runs

first rate work and a good example to other sparks, neat and tidy and tidy as you go

Great video and tidy job, never seen that many CAT cables in a small house, good future proofing.

Gorgeous cabling job 👍

Looking very tidy Nick. Only thing I'm not so keen on (but never tried) is having speaker feeds chased in (Presume there'll be speaker sockets?). I'm a bit of a budget audiophile so quite fussy with brands of speaker cables, but also want the flexibility for moving speakers, or if I want to upgrade my set up. Surely vacuuming under the floor boards must make doing more runs less stressful in a tidier area, plus it is satisfying.

Well worked through….. I do use CAT 6A cable…. for comms…. The money is in the labour not the cable so worth the uplift. Wire for security cameras as well. (Simply safe or other) Run cable to the front garden wall as well (or parking place)for a car charger (again future proof) Good job…

Definitely done the right job with running hdmi. Even though you can use the data as Hdmi, you'll never be able to run it in 4k high frame rates like a hdmi cable can do. Im sure cat6 is limited to a certain quality and fps

Having done loft work before, I do not envy you! Looking very tidy!

Absolutely phenomenal 🤌🏼

Neat install mate 👍

Nice job but that double back box can cater for no more than 4 network leads unless you are putting a brush plate for the back box

Wow I still love that bag from yesterday video I think it was fab

Good rewire Nick, nice tidy job

Attic looks like they need additional insulation. Are you air sealing as you go?

Mask is great, but knee pads are just as important! Saw my consultant yesterday and at the age of 49 I’m now on the list for a partial knee replacement in the next year! 👍🏽

Nice job 👍👍👍 ………………..looks like a pop star eats like one also,,😂🤔

If you are trying to use cat6 instead of hdmi remember 1 hdmi needs 2 cat6 cables. Otherwise a hdmi to minihdmi cable can be run, with an adapter on the mini end behind the TV. The smaller end allows runs in narrower conduit

Your attention to details is simply fantastic. top job. Did you say you were running neutrals to the light switces? I wondered if the home owner was putting in Shelly relays or similar.

Have Unilite still not sorted out the Bosch battery adapters? I know they're similar to Makita and there are Bosch compatible products all over the internet so what's with the delay? Genuine question, I have all Bosch power tools, mix of Home & Garden and Professional.

Put patch panels in for your Cat6. crazy to use brush plates and box.

CAT6 cabling. Very fancy.

That loft converted would have made a btr office than that we bedroom, i also hoover between joists,

Love that you're using oval conduit everywhere.

Cue not queue 😂😂 pls keep hoovering!

Awesome. Could you add one of your ipad doodles for some of the wiring? For example.ple.ive listened 3x to the smoke route and still can't visualise it!

nick if you would be a dutch electrician and i would build a home you would be my electrician of choice. thats one banger job of wiring

If you want to do the absolute top job then use Velcro on the cat6 not cable ties, other than that I knocked one out with the quality there.

Top notch rewire

Mate I've got the dewalt cable stapler, is the milwaukee one better?

I’ve hoover under floor boards a few times. I got told I was werid 😂

Where’s the plumbers pipes going to go typically electrian taking the easy runs lol 😜

You almost make me want to do a rewire

why are the smoke alarm cables red ? never seen this before is it a wiring reg?

Is that a zone on the side wall just around corner from tv. ,, chimney breast it think... / Nick,,, just think...power cut ,, you,ve got F all 😂

35mm for the switch box? Jeez.

my new house is going to need a rewire rougly how much would charge for that job ?

Beautiful but you just know the Paul the Plumber is going to drill through them shortly afterwards

Hi Nick, do you have a grey spot of the top of your head and has it been checked out?

So, just saying, but a holes in a joist should be spaced a minimum of 3x its diameter away from each other...😮

Show us the orange coat from the hello fresh ad

u Good job

I hope you have no switch lines or mains smoke detectors wired in that run which will cause havoc with induced voltages

CO detector mate. We have been through this. Not Co2 😅

I don't care, I call it hoover as well. 😀

Love your videos mate and your work is awesome!!! But why not put smoke detectors in the bedrooms and the escape routes - especially as you are doing a full rewire??? (P.S. not a keyboard warrior!!!).

Great video Nick

👍👌

The only reason He’s done that is for the cameras it’s a one off 🤣

much prefer a simple bye at th end of the vidio. very nice work thanks for the tips re: quik mesureing depth for drilling joists. cheres man

Worlds best umm can you actually claim that?

You can run HDMI over cat 6 but don't buy the cheap ones they won't work properly

Why so many cat 6

Imagine a plumber being the first to like and comment (passion4plumbing)

HDM ?

"queue the hoover is a brand..." I'm with you nick, they're all hoovers!

Please DON'T use metal utensils on Teflon / non-stick coatings. Thank you kindly, carry on

A tidy site is a good is always a good site, loving the cable runs😀. 02:41 NO, NO, NO, it is NOT CO2 it is just CO, (CO2 is what you get in fire extinguishers that have a horn) If you are not told you are in error, how will you ever get it right? 🗨Might I suggest you add another smoke alarm, connected to the shed smoke alarm, and do NOT connect the shed smoke alarm to the house smoke alarms. Reason being, if the shed smoke alarm activates, how will they know it is the shed? 👀you don't want everyone running out the house into the shed area.

Has the owner not heard of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth? In my refurbishment I don’t even have light switches hard wired to ceiling lights.

Can’t for the life of me see the customer use 1/4 of those data cables. 20 years ago yes but everything is wireless these days. I know nothing to do with you it’s what they wanted,

As others have said, it's CO, not CO2...but we all knew what you meant...so stop being so nitpicking! Or NICKpicking! Just do not understand why you keep installing mains smokes etc. Wireless radio interlinked save time, labour, cable and other materials, and if faults develop later you know it's not the wiring! Big thumbs up for vacuuming out under the floorboards...a neat worker is a conscientious worker!

In Oz we cannot run the fire with the Comms ….is the fire 230v?
