No, it’s usually buried in the wall behind the plasterboard. Although it is possible to use surface trunking.

In our defence, most of that is legacy from the post war rebuild (copper shortages etc). The modern regs are comparable or better than a lot of places.
There’s enough of the dodgy stuff around that it needs to be accounted for, but it’s being phased out as new stuff it built or renovated.
A lot of dodgey wiring.
Do they have the wiring on the outside of the houses so it’s easier to repair?
