Quick question about trunking

Need your help here guys!

I am in the process of mounting my LCD to the bedroom wall and I have my sparky friend coming round at the weekend to install the power to this . As I want to run the power and aerial lead in the same trunking, he told me that I need to keep these wires seperated. I don't really want to run two sets of trunking, so he told me that you can get one that is divided.

I have hunted around the internet and can not find any - maybe I am searching on the wrong words? Can anybody help with this? I am trying to keep the presence of the trunking to a minimum and look aestheically good (I would like to paint it afterwards)- gotta keep the wife happy. Took me ages to convince her to allow me to put the tele on the wall. It does look the dogs though.

Any general tips would also be greatly appreciated. I will be posting before and after pics once done.

Thanks in advance

TLC electrical (TLC Electrical Supplies) sell D-Line trunking that you can get in different colours to match wood and various wall colours.
You can also get a divider strip for it as well (although possibly only for the larger sizes).

Re: Quick question about trunking

get a length of YT4 trunking and place a length of YT2 trunking inside. That will provide you with the segrigation you require.
