I'm now looking at behind the skirting board
As I understand it (and I am not a sparky - you should definitely be asking a sparky) you can run cable behind skirting if it is recessed specifically for cables (as in, the skirting is the trunking). Otherwise no.

Was looking to cut a rebate into the skirting or order new, something similar to this.

This would save a bit of hassle for me I think.

Bit of a different one, I'm getting an electric vehicle charger installed and want to keep any internal cabling as tidy a possible, for a lot of it the cabling will pass through the kitchen under the cabinets and behind the dish washer / washing machine. However, it will have to pass through the cloak room / WC under the stairs and I this is where I need help, initially I thought about putting it under the floor but the amount of hassle that would cause is too much for me to bear, installing some kind of cable tidy above the skirting is a no go so I'm now looking at behind the skirting board. I'm just wanting to know if this is a no go / within regs etc. It'll be a 32amp / 7kw supply which is higher than average so not sure if I'll be allowed to do this? I know the chaps installing will know but would rather know my option prior to them showing up.
