What We Do

Precise Channels,
Clean Results

Wall chasing is the controlled cutting of straight, uniform channels into brick, block, or concrete walls to allow cables, conduit, pipes, and services to be concealed within the wall structure. Done correctly, wall chasing is clean, accurate, and leaves a channel that is neat enough to plaster directly over.

At FB Coring Concrete & Demolition, we use angle grinders and purpose-built wall chasers with dust extraction to produce consistent-depth channels without damaging the surrounding wall. We cut to the correct width and depth for the services being installed — so electricians, plumbers, and heating engineers have exactly the slot they need.

Whether you need one cable run in a domestic extension or multiple conduit routes across a full commercial fit-out, we work efficiently and leave the wall surface ready for the next trade.

Applications

Where Wall Chasing Is Used

Wall chasing is a standard requirement for any project that needs services to be concealed within walls rather than run on the surface.

Electrical Cables & Conduit

Single and multi-way chases for wiring circuits, sockets, switches, lighting, and consumer unit feeds that need to be concealed within masonry walls.

Plumbing Pipes

Channels for hot and cold water pipes, gas pipes, and waste routes that need to run flush within the wall for a clean, plastered finish.

Heating & Underfloor Pipes

Chases for heating supply and return pipes, thermostat wiring, and boiler connections in renovation and new-build projects.

Data & Telecoms

Chases for ethernet, fibre, CAT6 cabling, TV aerial runs, and other data or telecoms infrastructure in domestic and commercial buildings.

Alarm & Security Cabling

Discreet wall chasing for intruder alarm, CCTV, fire alarm, and access control cabling to keep security installations fully concealed.

Renovation & Extension Projects

Full wall chasing packages for house extensions, loft conversions, and full rewires where multiple circuits and services need routing through existing masonry.

Benefits

Why Professional Wall Chasing
Makes the Difference

Clean, Straight Channels

Purpose-built wall chasers cut parallel, consistent-depth slots — not rough, jagged breaks. The result is a tidy channel that plasterers can fill directly without remedial work.

Dust-Controlled Operation

We operate with vacuum extraction and dust suppression. Wall chasing creates fine dust — we control it at source rather than leaving it to spread through the property.

Correct Depth Every Time

We cut to the depth required by the services being installed — not too shallow (leaving cables exposed) and not unnecessarily deep (weakening the wall structure).

Faster Than Alternatives

Professional chasing equipment works significantly faster than hand chiselling. Your electrician or plumber gets the runs they need — done, ready to use — without waiting around.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We chase brick, concrete block, dense block, aerated block (Aircrete / Thermalite), and poured concrete walls. If you're unsure whether your wall type is suitable, call us and we'll advise.

Standard electrical chases are typically 25–40mm wide and 20–25mm deep. Pipe chases are wider and deeper to suit the pipe diameter. We cut to whatever specification the trade installing the service requires.

When done correctly and within building regulations, wall chasing does not weaken the structural integrity of the wall. We never chase load-bearing elements without appropriate advice, and we keep channels to the minimum depth needed.

We use vacuum extraction connected directly to the wall chaser to capture dust at source. There will be some dust — it's a cutting process — but it is significantly reduced compared to uncontrolled chasing. We clean up fully after every job.

Ideally your electrician or plumber marks the routes before we arrive — but if they haven't, we can work from a brief description and mark the routes ourselves before cutting.
