  • For coastal terraces and detached homes in Mumbles and Sketty especially — cable routing planned around cavity brick, concrete-frame lintels; some steel-framed variants require careful drilling around lintels and cills — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".
