Lectrician - sorry missed your question amongst the red mist.
It's simply a matter of where the cable needed to be run. It has to squeeze behind and around a fair bit of boxing and a 1.5 t/e just about fits around the corners. Nothing suspect as you mention, just a tight squeeze.
I think the 5A FCU between the a ring and the 1.5mm cable is the way forward for us.
As a related? question - does anyone have an opinion if the lighting circuit could be used instead as the heating mat is only 150w. That way a cable can be run down the wall void with the appropriate 5A FCU installed in the attic?
