Cable clips

[dan2002]

Maybe try no nails, put a blob on and push the cable into it and clean up...

Sorry if that sounds rubbish I can't think of another way

You mean a blob using a nail gun? Would this be a good idea do you think?

 

[sparkymarka]

Or these

Not sure might be worth one attempt see what happens.

Or these

Was thinking of that, not sure if it would work but a try won't harm

No 3 SWA cable cleats?

 

[dan2002]

Might just order these.

Anyone know what size screw would be perfect? Preferably stainless steel

Would these be a good alternative for clips?

They would work, but look untidy. Either your original idea, of the two hole fixing saddle clips, or single hole P-clips. They sell copper P-clips, as used for Pyro cable.

I like Freddie's idea, of the screw in sockets. You can also buy a similar course screw in type thingummy, intended for plasterboard, which might work out cheaper, and work as well. Any decent hardware shop should stock them.

Your screws will have to fit both the P-clip, and the thing you end up putting in the wall.

Only you, knowing what your insulation is like, can really decide what will work with it.

You need to know the hole, in the clip size, for that. Ask the seller.
