I am about to wire in 6 ceiling spotlights in my kitchen (yes, council dept have been informed). My initial plan was to lift the floorboards above the existing ceiling rose, which is in the centre of the room, junction box the connections then pull a feed from that to the first spotlight. Then I planned to daisy chain the rest. Is this the best plan of action? I'm asking mainly because I am trying to get my head around fishing the wiring for the remaining spotlights. I would be able to fish the cables through for those which run parallel to the joists. How would I do it for those which don't? When I spoke to an electrician about the job, he said he would 'fish the lot through'.... The obvious solution would be to lift a load more floorboards and drill through joists, but I'm wondering if there's a simpler way, especially due to the fact that the bathroom is above the room in question! Thanks in advance! :)

I'd be thinking you need to lift the boards.....
I'm sure you could drill blind through the joists to get into the next lot, but I'd be worried about hitting pipes, cables, etc!
I suppose you could just a few access panels into the kitchen roof and patch up? How tall is the ceiling? you could also float a new ceiling below if super high?
