Nah I do need to get someone in. I was hoping a friendly luffgusser spark might pop up and tell me it wouldn’t be crazy to hope Screwfix Tony’s approach could work. 🤣
Maybe diy thread is the wrong place.
And yeah the want for uf heating does make it more tricky perhaps.

What could possibly… -
All the usual caviates but if heating wasn't on the cards I (probably incorrectly as I have zero qualifications) wouldn't be adverse to Tony's view because like he says you're not drawing much power.
I'd be curious to understand from someone who knows where the risk lies.

Sorry if that read as arsey. It was meant to be light hearted.
It's the heat that makes it tricky Imo.
Obvs you should absolutely do things correctly. But personally for powering a laptop and some led lights? yeah I'd be fairly relaxed as long as there are some fuses in the way. Heat is a bit different isn't it.
Have you thought I'd there is a route through the first floor, floor? Your ground floor is a concrete slab right?
I do kinda think it might be worth trying to get an electrician round as they may just look at the layout and know a practical answer. It's just a bit of a shit job to entice someone round.
