Tricky one. Those 2 boxes are your main fuse or cutout which you are not allowed to pull and nor is your electrician although many are willing and able to do it. The second box is your meter. Strictly speaking you don't own those or the cable between them and for obvious reasons the electricity board likes the connection to be simple and accessible.
You have a little spare that you could get it in the walls but I can't remember any reference to these types of 'accessory' in the regs because normally domestic electricians don't deal with them.
I think there would be a problem because there's no rcd protection possible there and there needs to be or sufficient mechanical protection which is going to be hard to meet. You can of course bury a wire horizontally or vertically from accessories on a wall, but again these are not normal accessories.
You can forget putting it in any other conduit because you'd need to break the law and risk that fuse flashing over and blinding you or setting you alight. I'm pretty sure you're not up for that.
(p.s. it very likely will not cause a fiery death but there is a small percentage chance)

Looking for some advice pls.
Am I allowed to chase into the wall the cables between these 2 boxes? Should I buy some sort of protective metal channel rather than rely on the plastic pipe they're currently in?
