cavity Walls

legend99 · 2006-12-15 16:16:06

Are independants the same as Sky - i.e. they won't drill through internal cavity walls? If they won't, can I drill the wall in advance of them coming and have them use the predrilled holes?

They will use pre drilled holes. Make sure you don't drill through wires or water pipes. There is a reason for their caution.

Thanks. No wires/pipes in the area. Bottom corner of internal wall.

If you're in a two-storey, check what's directly above or below the spot where you're drilling, in terms of electrical sockets/switches or plumbing. Advice about screwdriver is a good idea.:)
