Cable clips

[dan2002]

Sure, you just screw them into the wall and attach the tie wraps.

Had a look and you can't get them apart from that actual store unfortunately. Would have helped if there was a reseller on ebay for example. Will probably just stick to my original plan

Or just use the standard rawl plugs designed for insulation, example posted above.

Why would I need plugs though? To make the screw stay on and not fall off? Wouldn't just screwing in work?

This would hide the cable and blend in better with the wall finish, and only requires 2-3 fixing per length .

Keep your indoor surface wiring work neat, tidy and well organised with this mini trunking. It's so easy to work with - a simple clip-on lid helps you get the job done quicker, and also ensures easy access if you need to carry out maintenance at a later date. The high-impact PVC compound...

I have in the past used a hot glue gun to stick cables to wall.

@dan2002 Because insulation has very little strength hence the rawl plugs have a very coarse thread that's able grip securely, unlike standard screws.

Thanks for the idea, not really looking looking to spend much but like the concept, would look neat. Its mainly to protect the cable, some bits I have realised have come off due to clips falling off and I want the coax cable to stay in good condition

 

[dan2002]

Would these be a good alternative for clips?

Cant do that mate. 1st of all my wall is no longer brick, it has external wall insulation. The material is not at all the best in the slighest. I dont really want to be making holes etc as by inspecting the bottom I can see the support is weak

Fair enough, you could try the sticky pads but im sure they will fall off pretty quickly.

Thinking the same. They didn't put the right material on that section because where my brown VM box is, about 1 metre of the cable it is in tact because the material is firm, whereas after that the nails are justing popping in and then out straight away.

My main concern is that I don't want the cable getting damaged by being lose etc

Why cant you drill it and use a screw and p clip?

Edit...sorry just read your above post again.

The workmanship on that particular section is ridiculously poor, I have a fear that if I make multiple hopes etc the whole section will fall off. The bottom is already separating from the main wall.

These insulations I should not have put on. More harm than good

 

[pete01]

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

My best bet is to get what freddie told me to get. He nailed the spot. The ewi rawl plug connectors. Specifically made for external wall insulations, but pricey which would be worth it
