Following on from @lizzie's topic on external roller blinds, I've been wondering about the best way to run the power source to these. There will be 2, both on the south side of the house, one upstairs (south east corner) and one ground floor (south west corner) but both on the same face. I had a quick chat with MBC and it's a choice between something coming from under the slab, then wired along the outside of the building under the cladding, or penetrate the wall and use grommets and seal before the insulation goes in.
I'm also wondering whether I need any external power points. There will be some in the garage, but nothing on the south side. I'm not sure what I would use these for, but that doesn't mean I won't want or need any at some point in the future.
Any thoughts, anyone?
