I have put extra loft insualtion in my loft, now a total of 300mm.
At the sam time I have installed additional beams at 90 degreees to existing joists supportin flooring for storage.
There are 2.5mm cables for ring circuits on 32 amp mcb, 1.5 mm lighting circuits on 6 amp mcb and 10mm cooker circuit on 45amp mcb. 2.5mm immersion on 20 amp mcb.
Currently I have run the cable loose accross the insulation with the cooker and ring main cable passing vertically through the insulation. The lighting may have up to 30cm of cable under the insulation, pinned to joist or in contact with plaster board.
Based on other posts and advice from others I am confused as to weather it would be best to clip the cables against my new beams, which would be just above or close to the top of the insulation. Is there anything else I need to consider?
Any advice will be appreciated
