Perfect, thanks
Looks much better option and is aesthetic0 -
Plaster boards walls- to make it look absolutely spot on, nothing beats cutting holes, chasing behind wall and come out at destination with a nice box. Scrim tape, easyfil and repaint walls. That is what I would do if it were my place.0

Oh well, been to the property on the weekend and just realised there is a massive floor to ceiling window with a balcony door that dashes any hope of wire fitted to skirting.0

If you do need to get from one side of that window to the other, you have two choices. Run the cable along the ground (I can't see the detail of the threshold or trim because it's hidden by the net curtains) or run the cable around the frame as a previous responder suggested.0 -
Hi,
Thanks for your response.
That is not a aerial socket, one is a telephone and other is a USB socket. The aerial socket is on the opposite side.
Running on the floor may not be an option as it will interfere with the opening of the balcony door. Only option will be to run it around the frame, not ideally my first choice but looks like the only choice.0 -
Outside? .0

Outside? .
OP - this is worth looking into. Take the coax out of the outside wall and run it neatly under the door ledge before bringing it back inside again. You can get a blanking plate for the existing aerial socket and re-use the original face-plate on a back-box where the cable re-enters the room. New face-plates, blanking plates and back-boxes are cheap as chips from places like Screwfix and Toolstation. The cable won't be visible inside the room and if it's pinned neatly along the mortar line outside it won't look unsightly from the outside either.0 -
