House builds are crap aren’t they, minor issues like this involve lots of grief knocking holes in things and then having to do some kind of bodge repair. My vision is some kind of easily accessible/removable wall panelling and proper cable conduits behind.
Take my TV aerial wire, crappy coax which I’d like to replace with some screened cable. The existing coax seems to have been secured behind the plasterboard to various purlins and to remove/replace would not make sense. I’d have to run fresh cable from the aerial, outside the house and then drill holes in masonry/plasterboard to get it to where required. If the cable ran through a conduit then things would be must simpler.
A lot more expensive though 🙂
